Our DS83 S keyboard is designed for use in industry and adverse environmental conditions. The construction with a closed PVC cover film and silicone mat provides high protection for the electronic components, the guide elements and the contacts against the ingress of dust and water jets (protection class IP 65). This allows typical application in all kinds of industrial applications areas e.g. the food industry or in humid environments, especially with strong temperature fluctuations (0 ... 60 ° C).
The construction as a silicone mat allows both the horizontal and the vertical installation of the keyboard. The keyboard has very good tactile feedback and a clear snap effect when actuated, which is related to our silicone mat structure (comfortable key grid 16.5mm) and the actuation force of 1.2N.
The surface of the silicone mat has a special PU coating, which makes the keyboard particularly durable and increases its resistance to solvents, chemicals and weathering. The front panel, which forms the actual keyboard surface in addition to the silicone keys, is provided with a decorative film, which provides additional abrasion protection in daily use. This ensures that the entire keyboard (and not just individual components) meets the minimum requirement of 1 million switching cycles, even under harsh environmental conditions.
We look forward to answering your questions!
