Equipment and devices installed outdoors or in contact with the public require particularly resistant keyboards in the area exposed to the user. The front part and the keys are made of aluminum, steel alloys, or Teflon. The graphic design is applied on top of the metal parts so it can be replaced in case of damage. The type of contact typically used is a metal dome.
Tempered and shatterproof glass is used to protect any displays. POPTAR manufactures vandal-proof keyboards for various uses: gas pumps, automatic gates, information points, recycling machines, and more.
