iKey comes up with membrane keyboards

Membrane Keyboard iKey plans to increase its range of industrial keyboard line with its new series of membrane keyboards. These new membrane keyboards are built to withstand the worst of environments.

These new membrane keyboards are made up of a hardcoated and textured polyester film that is even more rugged than industrial silicone rubber. These keypads also feature mechanical snap-dome keys, an integrated Synaptics touchpad and is slightly raised.
Presently, the membrane product line includes a desktop and panel mount models. Both these products are in stainless steel cases as well as in an OEM kit for integration into industrial machinery.

Joel East, Director of Technical Design at iKey said, “What’s great about the membrane keyboard is there are no crevices.” Adding, “If you’re working around processing byproducts, grease, or other things that might accumulate between the keys of a regular keyboard, you can just spray it down and know that it’s clean.”

The membrane surface is slick and rugged especially made to withstand direct water. Apart from easy cleaning, these keypads help keep away from disinfectants, environmental contaminants and heavy use. Its Synaptics touchpad is completely sealed with an extra layer of PVC membrane that has helped extend the life of the product.
