Vandal and Spill Resistant Stainless Steel USB Kiosk Keyboard

RAFI have developed a range of kiosk keyboards for use in the most hostile environments. Our stainless steel rugged keyboards are used in kiosks sited in unsupervised areas or for extra protection anywhere. Offering the combined benefits of extra robust construction, enhanced data input and attractive appearance. The keyboards utilise all stainless steel front end components to resist sustained attacks from vandals as well as accidental damage such as spilt drinks.

By removing all unnecessary keys and adding browser-specific ones together with the integration of a high quality trackball, RAFI has developed a keyboard customised for interactive kiosk applications. The key layout is reduced in size but retains the familiar QWERTY key-block area. Function specific keys such as [www.], [.co], [.uk] and [.com] have been incorporated into the keyboard for the convenience of e-kiosk users. A browser mouse button has also been added to enable easy scrolling of viewed pages.

The keyboard utilises RAFI’s RK90 discrete-click tactile switch system with solid stainless steel or optional black hard anodised aluminium key-caps. The specially designed key-caps are secured by a protective front plate and the PCB and switches are also protected by an internal support plate preventing switch over-travel.

Twelve M5 x 25mm long studs are provided on our units for panel-mounting.

Connection to the host is via a straight cable (approx. 2m) terminated in a USB-A socket.

Track-ball: The 38mm diameter track-ball is a solid stainless steel ball with mechanical or optical encoder. Sealing for the mechanical track-ball version is provided by a full floating, self lubricating PTFE seal providing effortless cursor tracking yet maintaining a sealing level to IP65 when stationary. A support plate prevents the track-ball from being pushed through the keyboard.

The Keyboard is used and does have some light scratches on the left side please see last picture.
