Kiosks must be designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and user abuse common in uncontrollable public environments. Intentional and unintentional misuse of kiosk keyboards and touchpads can cause owners a considerable amount of unforeseen expenses. StacoSwitch is trying to change that with its new stainless steel data entry products featuring a solid, metal construction designed to reduce the high costs of vandalism and weather damage.
Built from stainless steel and zinc alloy, the input devices have a high resistance to vandalism. They feature anti-pull-off keys intended to prevent vandals from pulling off or breaking the keys. The high-tech keys can be laser engraved for high definition and wear-resistant markings. The laser engraving prevents the normal deterioration of the key labels thus increasing the lifetime of the keyboard and decreasing owner costs.
The keyboards and keypads are also sealed against liquid and dirt penetration using a unique one-piece membrane that extends to the edges of the device. Rain, snow, wind, spills, moisture, and extreme temperatures will not impede kiosk operation. The distinct waterproof design makes them easy to wash down and remove dust, dirt, chemicals, and other foreign matter.
These new stainless steel products complement StacoSwitch’
The keyboards come standard in the layout of ten different languages and 65 keys with optional stainless steel trackball or touchpad. A custom-specific layout is available on request for other applications like industrial control panels and ticket issuing machines. PS/2 and USB versions are available. The stainless steel trackball and touchpad can also be purchased as separate units.
