Contour Design Active Key AK-4450-G keyboard Industrial USB QWERTZ German Black

The AK-4450-G is a compact industrial keyboard with an integrated front-mounted touchpad, designed for use in industry, automation, tool and plant construction, server and kiosk environments, and healthcare applications. The keyboard combines a notebook-style key field with a large touchpad that provides smooth and precise cursor control. The touchpad is maintenance-free and has no wearing parts. The keyboard features a closed contact system that resists moisture, dust and splash water, and flat, sideways-slanted keys that simplify cleaning. Optional versions with a silicon membrane offer additional protection.

Advantages

The scissor-balancing technology with open slide bearings levels keycaps at all four corners to ensure consistent key guidance and a reliable typing feel, even under eccentric actuation. The large front touchpad enables accurate cursor movement for untrained operators. The closed contact system increases durability in harsh environments, while the flat key profile allows easy surface cleaning. A silicon membrane option provides extended protection where needed.
