RGB Series ScreenKeys
RGB Series ScreenKeys are programmable LCD key switches with Red, Green and Blue (RGB) LED Backlighting mounted on a push button mechanism.
RGB ScreenKeys use 4 Red, 4 Green and 4 Blue LEDs in each key (one red, green and blue LED per corner) to achieve the most uniform backlight illumination in the marketplace. Each RGB LED colour can operate at full or half brightness.
RGB ScreenKeys are offered with two different LCD resolutions:
- 32 x 16 pixels (RGB16) for fast changing graphics and text where immediate operator recognition is a primary requirement
- 36 x 24 pixels (RGB24) higher resolution where finer graphics detail & more text options are preferred (4 lines of text may be displayed)
The RGB Series ScreenKeys are available with either a Soft-Touch or Tactile feedback switch mechanism. The Soft-Touch switch mechanism offers a key switch lifetime of >1 million key switch operations.
The Tactile feedback offers an enhanced key switch lifetime of >3 million key switch operations. Further information on Tactile ScreenKeys can be downloaded here.
The RGB Series ScreenKeys are available in black or grey keycap housings.
