Product Description

Advanced Input Systems' Mid-Travel (1-2mm) keyboards are designed for harsh environments. Keytops are available in plastic, rubber or metal, depending on the application, look and feel desired. Mid-Travel keyboards are typically sealed, and water-resistant. We can create any conceivable keyboard—design, size, composition, color, lighting, technology—in this series.
