Types of keyboards offered by Qwerty
Qwerty specialises in producing a variety of keyboards, designed with different needs and working environments in mind. Key products include membrane keyboards, foil keyboards and numeric keyboards.
Membrane keyboards
Membrane keyboards are one of the flagship products offered by Qwerty. They are designed to operate reliably even in harsh working conditions. Thanks to their simplicity and reliability, they are particularly popular in industries where durability and resistance to external factors are important.
The modular design of membrane keyboards allows them to be easily integrated into a variety of systems and devices, making them the perfect solution for both small and large businesses. Furthermore, unlike traditional mechanical keyboards, membrane models guarantee quiet operation.
Foil keyboards
Foil keyboards are another product category that Qwerty specialises in. These high-tech components are often chosen for their precision, as well as their robustness and ergonomic design.
Thanks to the use of robust materials, foil keyboards can be used in harsh environments where they are exposed to moisture, dust or other contaminants. Thin and ergonomic structure and intuitive design make them easy and comfortable to use.
Numeric keypads
The numeric keypads offered by Qwerty are used primarily in industrial and telecommunications equipment. Thanks to their simple and ergonomic key layout, they are extremely comfortable to use, making them the perfect solution in areas where speed and precision of input are paramount.
Thanks to the use of high-quality materials, Qwerty numeric keypads are extremely resistant to wear and tear, ensuring a long service life even in harsh environments.
Technologies used in keyboard production
Qwerty continually invests in cutting-edge technology to create innovative products offering high durability and functionality. The company uses a variety of advanced technologies in the manufacture of its keyboards, such as optical bonding, shielded keyboards and LED and EL (Electro Luminescence) backlighting.
Optical bonding
Optical bonding is a technology that involves permanently bonding touch panels to glass panels using a special optical adhesive. This process eliminates air pockets between the individual layers which makes the image clearer and the device itself more resistant to mechanical damage.
The advantages of optical bonding are:
- Increased durability – thanks to the use of tempered glass or hardened PMMA, the panels are more resistant to damage (vandalisation-proof)
- Improved visibility – optical bonding does not degrade image quality and improves display contrast, which is important in low-light conditions or in direct sunlight.
Shielded keyboards
Shielded keyboards are a specialised solution developed by Qwerty that provides additional protection for devices against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electrostatic discharge (ESD). This technology is particularly important in industries where the stability of electronic devices is a top priority, such as medicine, the defence industry, industrial automation and transport.
Benefits of shielded keyboards:
- Protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) – shielded keyboards prevent interference with equipment caused by electromagnetic fields, which is especially important in environments where numerous electronic devices generating such interference are present.
- Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) – these keyboards also protect against the effects of electrostatic discharge, which can damage sensitive electronic components, especially in areas where electrostatic charges accumulate, such as production halls or laboratories. Such discharges can endanger human life, for example in mines or at petrol stations.
EL and LED backlighting
Backlighting is an important element in industrial keyboards, especially where work is done in low-light conditions. Qwerty offers different types of backlighting, which can be customised to meet specific customer needs:
- LED backlighting – LED technology is a popular choice for Qwerty keyboards, providing bright, energy-efficient key illumination. Keyboards with LED backlighting are ideal for dark rooms, such as control centres, transport vehicles and also laboratories. LED technology offers a choice of multiple colours for additional customisation.
- EL (electroluminescent) backlighting – EL backlighting is a more advanced technology that is characterised by uniform illumination of the entire keyboard surface. It is the perfect solution for applications that require clear backlighting without shadows, which is crucial, for example, in medicine where precise operation of devices is necessary.
High quality standards
Qwerty is committed to the highest quality of its products, as evidenced by its numerous certifications to international quality standards such as ISO 9001:2015 and AQAP2110:2016. The manufacturing process of the keyboards is rigorously controlled at every stage, which guarantees product reliability, durability and safety of use.
Thanks to advanced durability and quality tests, the keyboards produced by Qwerty meet even the most stringent requirements of customers from various industries.
Among the key advantages of Qwerty keyboards are:
- Longevity – Qwerty products are designed to last a long time, even in harsh environments. We provide a 36-month guarantee on this.
- Damage resistance – the keyboards are resistant to mechanical damage, making them suitable for use in demanding industrial environments.
- Reliability – thanks to precise control tests, Qwerty products are characterised by reliable performance in any situation, even in extreme conditions (our keyboards fly with paragliders).
Product customisation
One of Qwerty’s main strengths is the customisation of products. It allows keyboards to be fully tailored to individual customer needs and requirements. Qwerty offers a variety of customisation options that include:
- Material used for the keyboard – customers can choose from a variety of materials, depending on the working environment and conditions in which the keyboard will be used. Robust and damage-resistant materials are available for industrial applications, while films with antimicrobial coatings for easy disinfection are available for the medical sector.
- Key layout – keyboards can be customised in terms of the number of keys, their positioning and their function, making it possible to create a perfectly tailored tool for operating specific devices or applications.
- Backlighting – for keyboards used in dimly lit areas such as medical rooms, laboratories or warehouses, Qwerty offers various backlighting options, such as LED, which can be customised in terms of colour and brightness.
- Customised prints – Qwerty also offers the option of individual prints on the keyboard, such as company logos, key descriptions in different languages or additional markings, making the keyboards fully customised.
