GLASS KEYBOARD – THE ROBUST BEAUTY
Whether consciously or unconsciously, even early humans recognized the value of glass. In the form of obsidian and tektites, they used this material as cutting tools.
Thousands of years later, glass has become an indispensable material in modern society. Whether as a decorative element, in optics, for windows, or as containers, this versatile material is found in nearly every aspect of daily life.
The advantages of glass are undeniable, making it a valuable material even in operating technology. Its exceptional durability makes glass an ideal choice for manufacturing data input devices such as keyboards.
GLASS KEYBOARDS FOR A CLEANER FUTURE
Glass keyboards represent the technology of the future. The use of glass surfaces for operating machines, computers, and other electronic devices is becoming increasingly common. And for good reason: glass is not only aesthetically pleasing but also temperature-resistant.
ADVANTAGES OF GLASS KEYBOARDS
✔ Nearly Wear-Free
Capacitive keys ensure a long lifespan and high reliability. Since no pressure is required to register keystrokes, these keyboards are particularly suitable for users with joint or tendon issues, providing an effortless, fatigue-free typing experience.
✔ Hygienic & Easy to Clean
The smooth, sealed surface prevents dirt and bacteria accumulation, making the keyboard dustproof and waterproof. Cleaning is quick and efficient, even with disinfectants.
✔ Non-Conductive
Glass acts as a natural insulator against electricity, making it a safe choice in environments where electronic safety is crucial.
✔ Customizable to User Needs
Unlike traditional office keyboards, our glass keyboards can be adjusted to individual preferences. Users can modify the sensitivity of keystrokes and set the desired acoustic feedback volume. Available with USB or PS/2 connections, our models ensure seamless integration into any system.
WHERE ARE GLASS KEYBOARDS USED?
Glass in industrial environments? While the sector demands durable and robust materials, glass is much stronger than its reputation suggests.
Our industrial glass keyboards are designed for the toughest conditions. They feature specially reinforced glass surfaces, achieved through thermal and chemical hardening processes. By exposing the glass to precise heating and cooling cycles, its resistance to impacts, bending, scratches, and extreme temperatures is significantly enhanced. Gorilla Glass, used in our Cleankeys® series, is a prime example of this durability.
Additionally, the sealed glass surface prevents the infiltration of coolants, lubricants, dust, and dirt, making these keyboards ideal for industrial environments.
Traditional keyboards can harbor dirt and pathogens that multiply over time. This is especially problematic in hygiene-sensitive areas such as medical facilities, laboratories, and pharmaceutical environments.
Glass keyboards help maintain a sterile workspace. Their closed surface allows for easy cleaning with disinfectants and aggressive cleaning agents without damage. Some of our models are even hygiene-certified, ensuring their effectiveness in high-risk areas.
Additionally, capacitive technology provides an ergonomic typing experience, reducing strain on tendons and joints. With integrated touchpads, there is no need for a separate mouse, further improving hygiene and convenience.
Our Cleankeys® and InduSense® glass keyboards are specifically designed for medical applications, but their durability and ease of cleaning make them suitable for any demanding environment.
EMC Certification: Ensuring Safe Use
Cleankeys® keyboards are EMC-tested and certified according to EN60601-1-2 Edition 4. This certification ensures that they can be used in medical environments such as hospitals, operating rooms, and laboratories, where electromagnetic emissions must be carefully controlled.
HYGIENE SOLUTION: CLEANKKEYS® & INDUSENSE® GLASS KEYBOARDS
Traditional plastic keyboards are difficult to clean thoroughly. Removing mechanical keys often reveals significant dirt buildup, creating an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and viruses. In high-hygiene environments, this can pose serious risks.
Glass keyboards solve this problem with their sealed, smooth surface, allowing for fast and thorough disinfection.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR GLASS KEYBOARD
Glass surfaces offer endless design possibilities. With custom branding and layouts, a glass keyboard becomes a unique feature of any workspace.
We offer multiple customization options, including:
- Company logos on the keyboard
- Custom keyboard layouts to match your needs
- Multi-language layouts for global users
- By integrating glass keyboards into your workspace, you benefit from a durable, hygienic, and highly customizable input solution.
