Why this keyboard

Mission-ready where failure is not an option

Built for defence, naval, airborne and ground-station deployments - every detail is engineered to survive shock, vibration, EMI, salt fog and the harshest field conditions.

MIL-STD qualified

Designed and tested to MIL-STD-810 (environmental) and MIL-STD-461 (EMI/EMC), with DO-160 and IEC 60945 options for airborne and marine duty.

Machined aluminium body

A fully machined aluminium enclosure and carrier plate deliver high impact strength, electrical shielding and corrosion resistance in one rugged housing.

NVIS backlighting

Night-vision-compatible backlighting with adjustable red / white / green / blue illumination keeps every key readable in low-light and goggle-equipped operations.

Sealed to IP67

A fully sealed front resists dust, sand, rain and washdown, with IP65 / IP67 and NEMA 4X protection for land, sea and air environments.

Integrated pointing device

Optional sealed trackball, touchpad, force-sensing resistor pointer or joystick for precise cursor control without a separate mouse.

10M-cycle key life

High-specification dome key mechanism gives crisp tactile feedback and a proven lifetime of 10 million actuations per key.
