The Active Key AK-C8100FA-UVS-W/GE is a full-size medical PC keyboard designed for hygiene-critical environments.

Low actuation force and precise key guidance provide quiet, comfortable typing during extended use. The full-size layout with 105 keys preserves familiar key positions for efficient data entry and documentation. The wired USB interface offers plug-and-play connectivity and consistent response without the need for batteries.
