Available Technologies

Truncated

  • Full-Travel Truncated models feature single-piece, elastomer switch mat technology with breakover tactile feel. Because the individual switch bearings are molded into a single part, 80% fewer parts are required for assembly. This contributes to significantly lower cost than competing technologies.

Single Station

  • The Full-Travel Single Station switch is designed to provide lower volume customers with a low-cost tooling entry into the full-travel arena. Products feature a conductive elastomer, single switch in a full-travel mechanism.

Notebook

  • Using Advanced Input Systems' specially developed, Full-Travel Notebook platform as a basis for developing specific notebook applications — the customer has at hand an ergonomically friendly, standard QWERTY keyboard with a variety of customizable options. Key color, special sealing, backlighting, various communication protocols and language variables are just a sample of the unique characteristics that are available to the customer for their next project containing an Advanced Input Systems notebook keyboard. In addition, the in house engineering team at Advanced Input Systems can interact with the overall development of the larger project to add value to the integration of the keyboard into the next assembly platform or take over the design of the notebook platform, if needed.
