Tactile and Non-tactile Keyboards

Tactile and Non-tactile Keyboards

Tactile keyboards provide physical and audible feedback (a distinct "bump" or click) when a key is pressed, helping typists feel exactly when a keystroke registers. Non-tactile keyboards lack this physical feedback, off...

Keetronics ( India ) Pvt. Ltd. is a former Tactile and Non-Tactile Keyboards manufacturers and suppliers in India. In today’s growing technological world, there is a large adoption of machines and their components. To complete every demand and increase performance, we are offering our new technological tactile and non-tactile keyboards.

Both types of keyboards have multiple features that have been installed inside and made with strong-quality materials for performing also in outer conditions. Due to its all aspects, it can be used in multiple applications, such as household, consumer electronics and industrial uses.

What are Tactile and Non-Tactile Membrane Keyboards?
The tactile membrane keyboards are made with metal domes, actuators and polysomes for operating with physical touch and giving response to the computers or connected devices. And non-tactile keyboards, also known as linear membrane keyboards, do not have any physical domes attached and can function smoothly without any bumps or clicks.

Specifications of our Tactile and Non-Tactile Keyboards

We have added numerous features in our Tactile and Non-Tactile Keyboards to improve the performance of the applied applications. Here we have listed down some features:

Distinct Actuation Point: Our tactile keyboards have specific distinct points where the user feels noticeable bumps when the key is pressed. This helps users to press the key more efficiently without any extra pressure and gives ergonomic handling.

Durability: Our Tactile and Non-Tactile Keyboards are made with strong quality materials that are used in the outer and inner surfaces as well. These can be withstanding with millions of keystrokes.

Smooth and Linear Keypress: The high level of accuracy and smooth handling comes to be seen in our non-tactile keyboards. There are no bumps or feelings while pressing the buttons, which gives a fast typing speed while working on long-running tasks.

Membrane Layer Customization: Our keyboards come with multiple layers that are attached in the outer and inner layers. These are spill-free and water-resistant; if one layer fails, then another continues the workflow.

Applications of our Tactile and Non-Tactile Keyboard

Military and Aerospace: These are used for the rugged communication system in flight control systems and command centers for performing well in outer conditions also.

Healthcare: For quiet operation and smooth typing, our non-tactile keyboards are used for data entry, diagnostic machines and patient monitoring systems for keeping important patient records.

Automotive Industries: Both keyboards are used in automotive industries for multiple purposes, such as in-car entertainment systems, diagnostic tools and vehicle assembly lines.

Banking and Financial Systems: In banking systems, there is a higher and daily use of computer systems; our tactile keyboards are mostly used in ATMs and teller terminals.

Education and Training: For improving the performance and smooth flow in education centers, out both keyboards are used in computer labs, typing training equipment.

As the best leading tactile and non-tactile keyboard manufacturers and suppliers in India, we, Keetronics ( India ) Pvt. Ltd., provide the best quality keyboards that are made with high-quality inner and outer membranes. Both keyboards are installed with advanced technology and increase productivity in multiple applications. Contact us today for more information and to increase your productivity!
