Custom USB Metal Keypads Engineered for Your Equipment

A USB metal keypad provides numeric or command input through a USB connection, using a metal user-facing structure suited to equipment installations. Common applications include parcel lockers, self-service kiosks, vending machines, access terminals, and industrial equipment. Keypado customizes layouts and mounting configurations to match the application rather than a standard desktop-accessory format.

Yes. Available customization includes key arrangements, numeric and function-key definitions, letters, symbols, and language-specific legends. Provide both the visual layout and the expected output for each key so the physical interface and electrical behavior can be reviewed together.

Do not assume that every USB configuration has the same operating mode. Specify USB HID keyboard operation if that is what your host system requires, and request confirmation for the proposed controller and firmware. Validate the sample on your operating system and application before approving production.

Keypado offers configurations with IP65 front-panel protection, but the rating applies to the stated protection boundary and installation conditions. It does not automatically mean that exposed rear electronics, connectors, or the complete equipment enclosure have the same protection. Share your installation environment so the required sealing arrangement can be reviewed accurately.

Published Keypado USB keypad configurations include service-life specifications above two million cycles and operating temperature ranges of −20°C to +75°C. These figures apply to particular constructions and should not be treated as standard ratings across all custom products. Request the specification for your selected configuration and clarify any associated test conditions or documentation requirements.

Yes. Keypado’s product range includes illuminated metal keypad designs, with LED color options available on supported configurations. Specify your lighting conditions, preferred appearance, and any control requirements so the proposed illumination can be assessed during sample evaluation.

Custom dimensions and mounting arrangements can be reviewed against your existing drawing or sample. Provide the faceplate size, panel cutout, mounting positions, panel thickness, installation depth, and cable routing. A suitable replacement also requires confirmation of the USB operating mode and key output, not just a matching external size.

Selected designs offer raised tactile or Braille markings for numeric and essential function keys. Provide the required markings and the accessibility requirements for your intended market so the proposed layout can be reviewed. A keypad feature alone should not be treated as proof that the complete terminal meets an accessibility standard.

A rugged metal housing does not establish that a keypad is suitable for secure payment PIN entry. If your application involves payment PINs, provide the required security approvals, encryption requirements, and terminal specifications before product selection. Request product-specific evidence; the general USB keypad specifications referenced here do not establish payment-security approval.

Send your key layout, enclosure drawing, USB requirements, cable configuration, operating environment, and estimated order quantity. Include requirements for backlighting, tactile markings, testing, and documentation so the proposed configuration reflects the actual project. Confirm the minimum order quantity, sample schedule, tooling charges, and production lead time in the quotation, since these depend on the selected design and scope of customization.
