January 29, 2008 - Austin, Tx. – When a full keyboard is not necessary and function keys are all that is required, iKey offers a simple solution – the KYB-12.
This small, rugged keyboard features function keys only. Designed as a consumer-off-the-shelf part, it does meet MIL-STD-461E specifications, which means it can coexist with other sensitive equipment without causing interference.
The KYB-12 is sealed and waterproof. It is built with an industrial silicone rubber keypad and a lightweight, polycarbonate case. Configuration options include PS/2 or USB, and the dimensions are 3.2” W x 4.0” H x 1.25” D.
“The compact size of the KYB-12 is ideal for mobile applications,” said Joel East, Director of Business Development and Technical Design for iKey. “The outputs for the keys are the same scan codes as regular F1 through F12 functions. It works well on its own and paired with a touch screen.”
“We can also build this keyboard as the KYB-12-OEM, which can be integrated into OEM systems, “ East said. “The circuit board has through-holes for threading and mounting into other applications.”
