Our Industrial Benchtop Keyboards can be placed on any tabletop or other surface in the factory where a fully rugged, IP65/IP66-rated keyboard and pointing device is needed. The benchtop form factor is flexible and can be easily moved or relocated as needed. These keyboards also make an excellent replacement for a non-industrial keyboard that is frequently damaged.

Each keyboard is available in either a stainless or black powder-coated carbon steel enclosure. Three different keypad options are available:

  • Full-Travel Keypad with Touchpad – durable silicone overlay protects full-travel keys for easy touch-typing while maintaining wash-down IP65/IP66 rating. Familiar capacitive touchpad pointer can be used with thin gloves.
  • Full-Travel Keypad with Button Pointer – durable silicone overlay protects full-travel keys for easy touch-typing while maintaining wash-down IP65/IP66 rating. Button pointer can be used with any type of gloves and is unaffected by standing water or debris.
  • Short-Travel Keypad with Touchpad – durable polyester membrane resists chemicals and scratching, and provides a flat, easy-to-clean surface that does not trap dirt. Fully wash-down IP65/IP66 certified. Familiar capacitive touchpad pointer can be used with thin gloves.

For lighter-duty applications, we also offer our IP22-rated Standard Benchtop Keyboard, which combines a high-quality, full-format 104-key keyboard with a capacitive touchpad in a compact enclosure. A drip-proof flexible overlay (included) provides increased durability. This keyboard is fully compatible with our line of Monitor-Mounted Keyboard Trays.
