iKey has announced a new industrial keyboard that can withstand the harshest of environments with a hardcoated, textured, polyester film that is more rugged than industrial silicone rubber keypads. These keyboards also feature slightly raised, mechanical snap-dome keys and an integrated Synaptics touchpad. "What's great about the membrane keyboard is there are no crevices," said Joel East, Director of Technical Design at iKey. "If you're working around processing byproducts, grease, or other things that might accumulate between the keys of a regular keyboard, you can just spray it down and know that it's clean."

In addition to the easy cleanup, the membrane surface is slick and rugged, specifically made to withstand directed hose water, disinfectants, environmental contaminants and heavy use. The Synaptics touchpad is
completely sealed under an extra layer of PVC membrane, which extends the life of the product.
