OVERVIEW
The Remote Control Keypad and Keystick products are versatile PC controllers for use in environments where a traditional keyboard is not suitable, or where “one-touch" control is more desirable than multi-key keyboard functions. The Keypad and Keystick packages include user-programming software. Replacement keys, legend sheets and software development kits are available upon request.
With the 24 and 80-key keypads, double-keys can be used to replace 2 single keys, either in horizontal or vertical position. Key blockers are used to delineate groups of keys by function in a customized control panel. Key caps can be easily removed and replaced when changing the legend or key name. Addressable backlighting under each key makes the keys easily identifiable in low-light environments such as control rooms, studios and editing rooms.
When connected to the user port of a KVM Switch, the Keypad and Keystick products can provide accurate one-button reprogrammable switching commands, rather than complex keyboard hotkey commands.
Use the programmable Remote Control Keypads and Keysticks to provide an extra dimension of control to trigger macros and shortcuts, to select tools, switch computers and open files or directories.
