Original Press Release:
IKEY Introduces World's First Wireless Industrial Keyboard/Pointing Device
IKEY, a leader in industrial computer peripherals, has released its most innovative product yet, the DW-5K wireless industrial keyboard/pointing device.
Incorporating RF technology for convenient wireless operation, the rugged DW-5K is a full-sized keyboard that offers 116-key functionality. Standard features include an integrated, 3-button HulaPoint II pointing device, 24 function keys and a 10-key numeric pad. With its sealed, silicone rubber keypad, and robust ABS polycarbonate case, the DW-5K meets NEMA 4X specifications, certifying the unit water, dust and corrosive liquid resistant. The DW-5K boasts a 30-foot RF range, while operating in continuous power conservation mode, for a 6-month average battery life. Because the DW-5K uses radio frequency signals, it is not susceptible to the line of sight issues associated with infrared keyboards. The DW-5K utilizes a USB dongle for plug and play ease, including automatic keyboard detection by the host computer. In addition, the DW-5K comes with a manual binding feature that locks in the keyboard's signal, providing keystroke security, the ability to operate multiple wireless keyboards within the same environment, and a barrier from interference with other wireless devices.
