Coeur d’Alene, ID, September 1, 2007—Advanced Input Systems recently introduced an extreme ruggedized keyboard designed to reliably operate in the harshest environments. Dubbed the “Grizzly” this waterproof, dustproof and chemical resistant keyboard is built to withstand usage hazards typical of mobile, industrial and military applications. Features include USB compatibility, wear-proof legends and excellent tactile feel. Intensity controlled LED backlit keys are a strong performance advantage in low light situations. An integrated FSR pointing device and 10-key numeric keypad adds to the utility.
