Key Features

Heavy-duty cursor and pointer joystick keys

Designed to give complete crane, navigation, and machinery guidance directly from a ruggedized front keyboard plate layout.

Integrated Joystick Modules

Features 2-axis (X-Y) or 3-axis (Z-rotation) joysticks integrated directly into the steel or membrane keyboard layout.

Hall Effect Sensing

Frictionless magnetic switch sensing handles up to 10 million operations with zero contact wear or coordinate drift.

Dynamic Silicone Bellows

Elastic, chemical-resistant rubber bellows guarantee dynamic IP65/IP66 sealing protection in muddy or wet settings.

Proportional Speed control

Senses the tilt angle of the knob stick to adjust mouse speed proportionally for fine tracking or rapid cursor transits.

Rugged Metal Casing

Constructed inside CNC milled anodized aluminium or stainless steel frames to survive high vibration and shock loads.

Dedicated Click Keys

Tactile Left and Right click buttons positioned ergonomically adjacent to the joystick module for unified mouse execution.

Industrial Keyboard with Joystick
Precise Guidance

Precise multi-axis cursor control in extreme environments

Keetronics designs integrated joystick-keyboard systems that deliver maximum positioning speed and durability. Perfect for heavy crane cabins, military vehicles, naval vessels, and remote control stations, our joysticks are built using non-contacting magnetic sensors to ensure performance in vibration-heavy and dirty workspaces.

  • Non-contacting Hall effect and inductive sensors for zero mechanical wear
  • Heavy-duty silicone bellows resistant to ozone, chemicals, and tearing
  • Custom handgrip attachments, including thumb buttons and scroll wheels
  • Single unified USB, PS/2, or CAN bus interface protocols

Joystick Integration

Integrated pointer components

HALL
Hall Effect Sensing Engine

Frictionless solid-state sensor grids map magnetic flux adjustments, outputting steady absolute coordinate levels.

BOOT
Heavy-Duty Silicone Boot

Industrial protective bellows seal the stick pivot, blocking mud, grease, and water washdowns from inner electronics.

FIRM
Unified USB/CAN Firmware

Custom controller cards handle key-scan matrices and joystick mouse telemetry over a single output connection.

BEZL
Waterproof Bezel Mount

CNC milled metal frames equipped with rear studs, matching structural gaskets to compress against user housing walls.
