Why this keyboard

Built to survive deliberate abuse in unsupervised locations

Standard keyboards are destroyed within hours in prisons, outdoor kiosks and public terminals. This keyboard has no plastic, no removable parts and no weak points - it is built entirely from stainless steel to outlast the most hostile environments.

IK10 - 20 J impact rating

Certified to IEC 62262 / EN 50102 IK10 - the maximum standard impact class, withstanding a 20-joule hammer blow. Proof against hammers, attempted prying and deliberate strikes.

SUS304 full stainless build

Front panel, all key caps and back plate fabricated from 1.5 mm brushed SUS304 stainless steel - corrosion-resistant, rust-proof and chemically resistant to industrial cleaners.

No removable keycaps

Keys are an integral part of the steel faceplate - there are no separate caps to pry off, swallow or use as projectiles. One solid surface with no exposed fasteners on the front.

IP65 / IP67 sealed

Water-tight gasket and sealed panel-mount installation rated IP65/IP67 - safe against rain, condensation, high-pressure hosing and deliberate liquid attacks.

Gold-on-gold key contacts

Gold-on-gold or metal-dome switch technology with short travel (0.45–1.5 mm) and 3.5 N actuation force - 10 million cycle life even in the highest-throughput kiosk terminals.

Laser-etched epoxy-filled legends

Key legends laser-etched into the steel surface and filled with durable coloured epoxy - permanently bonded, wear-proof and optionally backlit without any protruding label parts.
