NSI presents a new 106 key backlit “Duralight” keyboard. The keyboard has a multi-functional layout with separate numerical- and control keys pads and integrates a large 50mm industrial trackball.

The unit uses high brightness white LED's and fibre optics, lighting not just the key legends, but also the key edges, the trackball contour and even possible customer logo's or trademarks. Using low power LED's warrants for a long life while an external power supply is not necessary; the power from the keyboard port being sufficient.  The illumination intensity is easily controlable by two dedicated UP and DOWN keys.  This illumination setting is stored at power off.  Furtheron it features an intelligent luminosity setting of the “numlock” and “capslock” LEDS depending on ambient light and key brightness setting. The keyboard uses short travel switches with low pressure and positive tactile feedback. 

The industry proven 50 mm trackball provides a comfortable and accurate control over the cursor. The KSML106-LED has an IP65 sealing grade and is available as front panel mount version or as enclosed version and has a PS/2 or USB compatible output both for keyboard and trackball. 

Typical applications include naval navigation control, aeronautics controls, studio or theater equipment, … and any other applications in low light environments.
