Product Features
This highly tactile, USB compatible, pointing device is ideal for use in any application requiring X-Y positional control.
Four directional keys allow navigation to specific menu items or graphic icons (targets). Functions or options
associated with those targets can be selected using the central ‘enter key’. The keypad can also be used to control
linear movement of mechanical systems. Integral LED illumination makes this 5 key control pad highly visible and
suitable for use in all lighting conditions. Individual keytops feature both tactile and visual delineation to ensure
accurate identification of key function. Intuitive functionality and ‘Design for Accessibility’ ensure this keypad is easy to
use by those with sensory or mobility impairment. An industry standard USB interface ensures simple connection and
compatibility with host systems, requiring no specialised drivers or software applications. The keypad’s robust,
weather resistant construction make it ideal for use in both indoor or exposed outdoor conditions. Its space efficient,
compact, design ensures a neat, water and dust resistant ‘under-panel’ installation as part of any system control
