Advanced Input Systems' Custom Notebook Keyboard
Capabilities
As noted in some of the variables earlier in this bulletin – Advanced Input Systems has chosen this keyboard as a means of using part, or all, of the platform to establish a baseline for designing your notebook keyboard. Customization is the key. We would use components of the platform as a means to reduce start up cost in projects that you’re developing, while redesigning other elements of the keyboard through our engineering department to provide a keyboard to meet your specific needs. For instance, if you wanted to modify the keyboard to provide LED backlighted keys, USB communication and a perimeter mounting scheme – the basic format could be modified as follows:
1.
|
LED back lighting option / plastic keycaps: Using the same basic key geometry, redesign the key to allow for either a two shot process key top for light transmission or revise the key plastic compound to make use of a translucent key that is over-painted and laser etched to allow lighting to come through the legend.
|
2.
|
LED back lighting option / elastomer: Using the same basic elastomeric shape, revise the elastomeric to be translucent in nature for the passing of the LED’s light directly to the key and revise the pad geometry to allow for electronic key contact with the PCB without disrupting the transmission of LED light to the keys.
|
3.
|
USB communication application: Using the basic PCB parameters, Advanced Input Systems would modify the component list and populate the board to be USB capable. Connector or cable output options would vary according to customer need.
|
4.
|
Mounting variables: The back plate mounting scheme will be varied to provide the mounting placement, hole size and number of locations necessary to interface with your next assembly interface needs. Issues regarding recessing, gasketing and sheet metal requirements are easily handled through Advanced Input Systems engineering department.
