The Mini Keyboard from Solidtek offers a very narrow footprint of just 11.3" that serves well where space is extremely limited or where the reach to the mouse needs to be significantly reduced. It achieves this by eliminating the traditional numeric keypad and replacing it with an embedded numeric keypad with legends clearly marked on the front face of the keycaps. This embedded keypad is located in the right half of the keyboard, with function accessed via the FN key. To make the keyboard even more compact, only the alpha-numeric keys are full-size and standard 19.4 mm spacing. The remainder of the keys are significantly narrower, with just 14 mm spacing which can make accurate targeting more difficult, especially for those with larger fingers.

The Mini Keyboard employs membrane keyswitches with a shorter-than-average travel distance (3 mm instead of the standard 4 mm) and has a somewhat pronounced positive incline (i.e. it is higher at the back than at the front), in spite of the comparatively low profile it presents. In general, a neutral (flat), or negative incline is advisable for those experiencing pain in the backs of the hands, wrists, or forearms. A low cushion such as the SAMA Palm Support can be used to help offset some of the positive incline.

The Mini Keyboard is available in models with the standard US English layout as well as a unilingual French Canadian legended version (note that this is NOT bilingual).

If you still wish to have a separate numeric keypad for occasional use the USB Scissor-Switch Membrane Numeric Keypad is a very economical add-on accessory.

Le Mini Keyboard de Solidtek offre une empreinte très étroite de seulement 11.3po qui convient parfaitement aux endroits où l'espace est extrêmement limité ou lorsque la portée de la souris doit être réduite de manière significative. Il atteint cela en éliminant le pavé numérique traditionnel et en le remplaçant par un pavé numérique intégré dont les légendes sont clairement indiquées devant les touches (au bas). Ce pavé numérique intégré est situé dans la moitié droite du clavier et l'accès à la fonction se fait par la touche FN. Pour rendre le clavier encore plus compact, seules les touches alphanumériques sont de taille normale, avec un espacement standard de 19.4mm. Les autres touches sont beaucoup plus étroites, avec un espacement de 14mm seulement, ce qui peut rendre plus difficile à trouver la touche précis, en particulier pour les personnes ayant de gros doigts.

Le Mini Keyboard utilise des touches à membrane dont la course est plus courte que la moyenne (3 mm au lieu des 4 mm standard) et qui présentent une inclinaison positive un peu prononcée (c'est-à-dire qu'elles sont plus hautes à l'arrière qu'à l'avant), malgré le profil relativement bas. En général, une inclinaison neutre (plate) ou négative est conseillée aux personnes souffrant de douleurs à l'arrière des mains, aux poignets ou aux avant-bras. Un coussin bas tel que le Sama Palm Support peut être utilisé pour compenser une partie de l'inclinaison positive.

Le Mini Keyboard est disponible dans les modèles avec la disposition standard en anglais US ainsi que dans une version unilingue en français Canadien (veuillez noter qu'elle n'est PAS bilingue).

Si vous souhaitez toujours d'avoir un pavé numérique séparé pour une utilisation occasionnelle, le USB Scissor Switch Membrane Numeric Keypad est un accessoire complémentaire très économique.

The Compact-Touch keyboard by Solidtek is a compact all-in-one computer access device, combining the ergonomic benefits of a compact keyboard with the convenience of an integrated touchpad. With dimensions of just 11.4" wide by 9.0" deep this keyboard can fit almost anywhere. The Compact-Touch is able to achieves this by first of all eliminating the traditional numeric keypad and replacing it with an embedded numeric keypad with legends clearly marked on the front face of the keycaps. This embedded keypad is located in the right half of the keyboard, with function accessed via the FN key. To save further space on the keyboard, only the alpha-numeric keys are full-size and standard 19.4 mm spacing. The remainder of the keys are significantly narrower, with just 14 mm spacing which can make accurate targeting more difficult, especially for those with larger fingers. Although only having 88 keys, this keyboard still retains all the functions of a traditional 104 key layout.

The Compact-Touch keyboard employs membrane keyswitches with a shorter-than-average travel distance (3 mm instead of the standard 4 mm) and has a somewhat pronounced positive incline (i.e. it is higher at the back than at the front). However, the integrated palm support with the embedded touchpad provides a convenient resting location that helps to avoid wrist extension.

The integrated touchpad offers almost zero-force cursor control, supporting single click, double click and drag functions as well as providing a convenient fingertip vertical scroll zone along the right side. Directly below the touchpad surface are left and right click buttons to round out the functions.

The Full Travel Mini Keyboard from SolidTek features full size alpha-numeric keys and key pitch, with the remaining keys reduced in width to reduce the overall footprint. This allows the keyboard to offer a minimal 12" wide x 5.15" deep footprint on the desk, and at 0.85" tall, this keyboard is also portable if required. The full-travel (3.5 mm) tactile rubber dome switches generate a crisp typing response. By employing a unique clover leaf keyswitch design, the completely flat keycaps are stabilized, preventing them from tilting in any direction.

The low profile flat keycaps give this keyboard the "look" of a laptop-style keyboard while retaining the more traditional "feel" of a standard full-size keyboard. Because the keycaps are low profile and flat, the gap between the tops is quite small compared to keyboards that have crowned keycaps that narrow at the top. However, as the key pitch (i.e. spacing) on the alpha-numeric keys is standard, the comparatively larger keycap tops are easier to target than on many similar keyboards that have a reduced key pitch.

In order to achieve its compact width the keyboard does not include a discrete numeric keypad. However, for those whose work may require occasional numeric data entry there is an embedded keypad located in the right half of the keyboard (identified by alternate blue legends) and accessed via the FN key.

The special-purpose Washable Keyboard with 2-in-1 10-key Touchpad from Solidtek Solidtek features a responsive touchpad mousing surface which converts to a fully functioning 10-key numeric keypad with a simple keystroke. This means that all standard keyboard functions are packed into a 15" wide keyboard, with no sacrifice in key size or spacing. This makes this keyboard ideal for the space constraints of dental operatories, medical offices, or any area where space is restricted. The softly rounded contours of the IP68 rated fully-sealed silicone surface lend themselves to complete disinfection as the keyboard is both water and dust-proof, features which also make it suitable for locations where moisture and dust will quickly render standard keyboards inoperable.

The keyswitches feel soft but still offer reasonably tactile response, providing notification when a key has been activated. Unlike some similar keyboards, the keys have minimal rock and the vertical movement is clean. By incorporating the navigation cluster into the compact layout and integrating the multi-function touch surface into the space traditionally occupied by a dedicated numeric keypad, the extended reach on the right is reduced to a minimum. The problem of mice failing to function due to moisture and dust on sensor surfaces is eliminated since the touchpad surface is unaffected by these environmental issues. High contrast white-on-black legends are easily readable. A backlit version of this keyboard is also available for environments with low levels of lighting.

A final and unusual feature—a convenient On/Off switch—fully disables input from both the keyboard and the incorporated dual-purpose touchpad mousing surface/numeric keypad. This ensures that accidental data entry or cursor movement cannot occur, making this keyboard well-suited to medical or manufacturing environments where data entry needs to be precisely controlled. This also can also be employed when disinfecting the keyboard while it is still plugged into the computer, preventing input during the cleaning process.

The Industrial Keyboard with Touchpad from SolidTek is waterproof and contaminate-proof, making it ideal for industrial applications or wherever dirt, dust, and other particles may damage a keyboard. Incorporated in this keyboard is a touchpad that provides cursor control and mouse clicking. The problem of mice failing to function due to moisture and dust on sensor surfaces is eliminated since the touchpad surface is unaffected by these environmental issues. A compact full-function numeric keypad is located just above the touchpad for applications that may require dedicated numeric data entry. The low travel membrane switches activate cleanly and with minimal resistance, providing enough tactile feedback to indicate a successful activation without any additional unnecessary resistance.

Sealed in 100% silicone, this keyboard has an IP68 rating and can be easily washed and cleaned with soap or other non-petroleum based cleaners, making it ideal for locations where moisture and dust would quickly render standard keyboards inoperable. This makes it an excellent all-in-one combination keyboard for almost any industrial application, especially where space is limited since the overall width of 13.5" will fit in almost any location.

L'Industrial Keyboard with Touchpad de SolidTek est imperméable aussi qu'avec la contamination, ce qui le rend idéal pour les applications industrielles ou partout où la saleté, la poussière et d'autres particules peuvent endommager un clavier. Il y a un touchpad intégré dans ce clavier, ce qui permet de contrôler le curseur et de faire les cliques. Le problème des souris qui ne fonctionnent pas à cause de l'humidité et de la poussière sur les surfaces des capteurs est éliminé puisque la surface du touchpad n'est pas affectée par ces problèmes environnementaux. Un pavé numérique compact et complet est situé juste au-dessus du touchpad pour les applications qui nécessitent une saisie de données numériques. Les interrupteurs à membrane à course bas s'activent proprement et avec une résistance minimale, offrant un retour tactile suffisant pour indiquer une activation réussie sans résistance supplémentaire inutile.

Enfermé dans du silicone à 100 %, ce clavier est conforme à la norme IP68 et peut être facilement lavé et nettoyé avec du savon ou d'autres nettoyants sans pétrole, ce qui le rend idéal pour les endroits où l'humidité et la poussière rendraient rapidement les claviers standard inopérants. Cela en fait un excellent clavier combiné tout-en-un pour presque toutes les applications industrielles, en particulier lorsque l'espace est limité puisque la largeur totale de 13.5 pouces s'adapte à presque tous les endroits.

The Financial Combo Keyboard from Solidtek features a compact financial layout which retains all of the functions of a full-size keyboard, with the added convenience of an integrated mousing device. Despite the compact width of just 15.75" this keyboard retains all 104 standard full sized keys and 0.75 key pitch (spacing). Navigation and cursor control keys are repositioned to permit the numeric keypad to be positioned directly adjacent to the primary keys reducing the distance to the keypad by over 2".

The centrally positioned touchpad provides cursor control as well as vertical scroll. Right and left click buttons are located just below the touchpad.

With full size keys, an efficient and compact layout, and quiet membrane keyswitches, the Financial Combo Keyboard is ideal for use where space is limited. The low profile and compact dimensions also make it ideal for rackmount/server applications. This keyboard is available in black or white and (USB) or (PS/2) connection.

This compact keyboard is slightly larger than the SK595 keyboard and includes a Trackball in the upper right corner for cursor control. The left and right mouse buttons are on the left side of the keyboard at the top. This keyboard comes in an Infrared Wireless (573 series) or Corded (5010 series) model, White or Black, and PS/2 or USB.

The Washable Super Compact Mini Keyboard with Cursorpoint from Solidtek is designed for use in wet or dirty environments which would render traditional input devices unusable. Fully enclosed in silicone, it meets IP68 protection standards for dust and moisture. Potential applications might include manufacturing equipment data input, medical or dental environments in which equipment must be sterilized, and any location where data entry is necessary but where moisture or dirt are prevalent. With a cursorpoint mousing device incorporated into the keyboard, and key movement that provides distinct tactile feedback, the Washable Super Compact Mini Keyboard with Cursorpoint is a complete data entry and control device in one.

The narrow 9" footprint of this keyboard means that it can be used wherever space is at a premium. However, the resulting reduction in key pitch spacing (14.6 mm, or 75% of standard) could make touch typing difficult. With the possible exception of those with extremely small hands, most will find it difficult to position their fingers over adjacent keys in the usual way. Adopting a two-fingered typing style can reduce the potential of overshooting the targeted keys. This keyboard is consequently more suitable for quick spurts of limited data entry than for extensive typing.

The incorporated cursorpoint mousing device is located directly below the spacebar and offers full fingertip cursor control. Large left and right click buttons flank it on both sides.

Note: The entire keypad has a raised outer lip running around it which in some environments could allow liquid to pool.

The Full Size Keyboard with Built-in Touchpad from SolidTek is an all-in-one keyboard with all full-size keys and a built-in mini-size touchpad in a minimalist housing. This combo/all-in-one keyboard places the touchpad, including left and right buttons, in the location of the traditional cursor keys (up, down, left, right). This means that the only way to access cursor keys is through the embedded navigation layer on the numeric keypad, accessed through NumLock. Because the touchpad is placed closer to the midline, there is no overreaching for the mouse.

NOTE: The touchpad in this keyboard is not a Cirque touchpad.

The Scissor-Switch Keyboard with USB Hub from Solidtek is a traditional full-size keyboard featuring high-quality scissor switches and a matching low-profile housing. All keys are standard width, with the upper row of F-keys and specialty functions being two-thirds in height. This keyboard is also equipped with two USB ports, one on either end of the keyboard for convenient connection of other low power devices such as a mouse or memory stick.

The scissor-switch keys, similar in look and feel to those used in laptop keyboards, contribute to the keyboard's low profile housing. The satin-texture key caps are slightly concave to assist in maintaining finger position. As is also the case with laptop keyboards the keys have a low travel distance, just 2.4 mm. While this keyboard is low profile it does have a slight positive incline, rising from 0.625" at the front to 1.0" for the uppermost rank of keys.

The Silicone Industrial Waterproof Compact Keyboard from Solidtek features a "slightly compact" layout with 17 mm key pitch spacing and large oversized legends. The result is an overall keyboard width of just 10.75". The Function Keys are just a 10 mm keycap but do offer access to media controls, email, and calculator as well as other commands. The "soft touch" rubberized surface is easy on the fingers and also keeps the keyboard firmly positioned. Numeric entry is accommodated by the embedded numeric keypad.

This keyboard from Solidtek is designed for use in wet or dirty environments that would quickly render traditional keyboards inoperable or greatly shorten their life expectancy. It is fully enclosed in silicone and meets IP68 standards for protection from dust and moisture. Potential applications might include manufacturing equipment data input, medical or dental environments in which equipment must be sterilized, and any location where data entry is necessary but where moisture or dirt are prevalent. Key activation provides distinct tactile feedback that may be necessary where gloves might hide more subtle response.

The small footprint means that this keyboard can be deployed where space would not accommodate a full-size keyboard, while still providing full functionality. The slightly compact key pitch will still work for most individuals but the closer spacing needs to be considered when determining the suitability. Keying accuracy can be ensured if a two-fingered typing style that eliminates the chance of overshooting the targeted keys is adopted. For these reasons this keyboard is more suitable for short bursts of data or numeric entry than for periods of extended typing, exactly the type of use that is required in keyboard unfriendly environments.

The Industrial 102 key Keyboard with Cursorpoint from Solidtek is a full-sized, rigid, silicone-sealed keyboard with a cursorpoint mousing device integrated just below the spacebar. This ensures reliable data input and cursor control in environments where traditional keyboards and mice will fail. The sealed silicone cover provides protection from dust and a wide range of liquids and can be easily cleaned with soap or many other non-petroleum based cleaning agents.

The design of the keyswitch does require a clean central pressure or there can be a tendency for the keycap to "rock" and fail to activate the switch. This keyboard is designed primarily for locations where exposure to dust or liquids will drastically shorten the lifespan of traditional keyboards and where limited amounts of data are being entered. The easily cleanable surface also makes it suitable when germ control is a consideration. Since operators in these environments may be wearing gloves the keycaps provide a smaller contact surface with a significant spacing of 5 mm between keys, reducing the potential for accidental activation of adjacent keys.

The Super Mini Wireless Trackball Keyboard from Solidtek features keycaps with a horizontal spacing of just 15 mm, approximately 78% of the normal. The keycaps are also shallower in height, resulting in the rows being spaced just 14 mm apart, approximately 73% of normal. This reduced spacing makes the keyboard not only narrower but also shallower (front to back). The fully-functioning membrane keys have a shorter-than-average travel and include a scissors mechanism that enhances the smoothness and stability of keyswitches. Despite including the smallest "physically functioning" keyboard available, it also includes both an embedded numeric keypad to offer full 101 key functionality. The Shift, Enter, Space Bar, Caps Lock, Tab, and all bottom and top row keys are all significantly smaller than on a standard keyboard.

The reduced key spacing and small size of the key caps make the Super Mini Wireless Trackball Keyboard primarily suitable for everyday two-handed use by children or those with smaller-than-average hands. For one-handed typing by those with average to smaller hands the compact width can reduce the movement necessary to access all of the keys and the convenience of an integrated mousing device will provide fully computer access in a compact 11.5" width. However those with larger finger tips will still have difficulty activating just a single key and would be better served by a compact keyboard with full-size keycaps and standard key spacing.

Although not ideal for daily use by many individuals the portability of this keyboard does make it suitable for short term use with portable devices. It can be powered the included USB cable, alkaline batteries, or rechargeable batteries.

NOTE: If the mini-USB cable is being used to power the keyboard, DO NOT USE the alkaline batteries at the same time, as the keyboard will ATTEMPT TO CHARGE THE BATTERIES. Use rechargeable batteries instead or uninstall the alkaline batteries during corded use.

The 104 Key Mechanical Keyswitch Keyboard from Solidtek is a traditional-style keyboard with 104 keys, including the integrated numeric keypad. The high-quality mechanical keyswitches are rated for 10 million cycles and feature both tactile and audible feedback. All key sizes and spacing are standard, including those in the numeric keypad on the right.

The Washable Scroll Wheel Mouse from Solidtek is designed for deployment to locations where liquids or dust would damage or interfere with the functionality of a traditional mouse. The IP68 protection rating also makes this mouse ideal for applications where hygienic demands require regular cleaning and disinfection, even to the point of full immersion. With 2 standard buttons as well a clickable scroll wheel, this mouse can perform all standard mouse functions. The wired design ensures reliability with the 55" cord accommodating use in virtually any location. The body of the mouse is designed to accommodate both right and left-handed use and is sized to fit smaller to average sized hands. With a weight of just 113 grams it is almost effortless to move.

The Backlit Waterproof Keyboard from Solidtek combines the appearance and function of a traditional standard keyboard with the added convenience of being fully waterproof and equipped with backlit shine-through keycaps. These features make this an ideal keyboard for lowlight industrial applications.

Unlike many keyboards targeting the industrial field, this keyboard offers a much more traditional appearance and feel. The elevated square keycaps have a modern appearance and feel like traditional keyboards. The full-travel membrane keyswitches also offer activation response that is similar to a traditional keyboard, albeit with a somewhat higher resistance than most membrane keyboards. These features mean this keyboard is better suited to applications where more extended keyboard use is required. With the IP68 rating it provides all the necessary protection against dust and liquids while offering a better response than can be found on silicone-covered keyboards with the same rating but that are better suited for limited or occasional use.

The Compact Keyboard with Trackball from Solidtek is an 89 key mini-keyboard with a small (0.8 cm diameter) built-in optical trackball and buttons. All alpha-numeric keys are standard size; the rest are smaller than normal, including the Enter, Shift, and Space keys. There is also an embedded numeric keypad (legended in blue) instead of a discrete numeric keypad.

The Silicone Industrial Backlit Keyboard from Solidtek features a compact financial layout with 18 mm key pitch spacing and large centered backlit shine-through legends. The result is an overall keyboard width of just 15.0". The Function Keys have smaller (10 mm) keycaps to accommodate the compact layout. The "soft touch" rubberized surface is easy on the fingers and also keeps the keyboard firmly positioned. A full numeric keypad makes this keyboard ideal for stations where primarily numeric data is being entered.

This keyboard from Solidtek is designed for use in wet or dirty environments that would quickly render traditional keyboards inoperable or greatly shorten their life expectancy. It is fully enclosed in silicone and meets IP68 standards for protection from dust and moisture. Potential applications might include manufacturing equipment data input, medical or dental environments in which equipment must be sterilized, and any location where data entry is necessary but where moisture or dirt are prevalent. Key activation provides distinct tactile feedback that may be necessary where gloves might hide more subtle response. For locations with reduced lighting the backlit shine-through keycaps can increase accuracy and speed as well as reduce eye-strain. The backlighting can be set to two intensities or be turned off as desired.

The small footprint means that this keyboard can be deployed where space is limited, while still providing full functionality. The slightly compact key pitch will still work for most individuals but the slightly closer spacing needs to be considered when determining the suitability. Keying accuracy can be ensured for those with large hands if a two-fingered typing style that eliminates the chance of overshooting the targeted keys is adopted. For these reasons this keyboard is more suitable for short bursts of data or numeric entry than for periods of extended typing, exactly the type of use that is required in keyboard unfriendly environments.

This keyboard is identical to the SK595 except that it is wireless (using an infrared line of sight method of transmission).

Compact and economical, the USB Scissor-Switch Membrane Numeric Keypad from Solidtek has a reduced 17-key layout and weighs only 120 grams. Extra-large "0", "+", and Enter keys make targeting these easier on the smaller footprint. It is an ideal companion device for anyone using a compact keyboard or laptop but who also occasionally needs to do more intense numeric data entry, whether or not the keyboard has an available embedded numeric keypad.
