Miniature keyboards with a pointing device

Applicable situations and uses

Applications as control keyboards for production equipment

[Specific examples]
We propose our keyboards for:
Control input for semiconductor manufacturing devices and inspection equipment
Control input for part mounters
Control input for console servers
Control input for various kinds of industrial machinery
Other uses include:
Space-saving, compact keyboards without numeric keypads for personal use
ThinkPad users

Characteristics

Space-saving
Without sacrificing ease of use, we have achieved a compact size of 292 mm wide and 172 mm deep. Moreover, the keyboard layout comes equipped with function keys and other keys comparable to those on a notebook PC, so there is no inconvenience for input.

Pointing devices
We have a lineup of keyboards with stick pointers where you can control the cursor without releasing the home position. In addition, a wheel is mounted on the near side of the key, which enables screen scrolling operations comparable to a wheel mouse.

External ports
The back of our keyboards with a pointing device comes equipped with a port for connecting external peripherals, which can be used to connect a mouse or numeric keypad.

Replacement of key functions
If you prefer to have the Ctrl key to the left of the A, the Ctrl and Caps Lock keys can be swapped by setting a DIP switch on the back.

Key touch
Our keyboards have a key pitch of 19.05 mm and a 3 mm key stroke, so they are as easy to operate as full-size keyboards. Our keyboards are held to prevent them from sinking when you press a key, which ensures a firm pressing feeling and touch.

Advantages over the competition

History
With curved forms that are rare today, customers have loved our keyboards for two decades.

Compact
Without a numeric keypad, our keyboards have no irregularity in the key layout, and are notebook-sized keyboards that save space.

Texture
Our keyboards look ordinary at first glance, but once you type with them, you will enjoy the quality of their construction, and feel the difference from today's stylish products.

Feel
We are particular about the operability and feel of the keys.

Operability
The keys will not catch your fingers even when you slide your fingers over the key tops.

Robust
Our keyboards are held firmly in the case and will not flex or sink even if you press them hard, giving you a high-quality feel in typing.

Rigidity
Our keyboards will not deform even when held with both hands and strongly twisted. They have a high-class keyboard texture, unlike the weak, flabby, shabby build quality of some other keyboards on the market.
