An Industrial Keyboard Supplier with a 3-Year Warranty

Most of our customers know us as an industrial touch screen and monitor company, but we are proud to also be the manufacturer of a complete line of truly industrial keyboards that come with a standard 3-year warranty. You may have heard that we shipped over 60,000 monitors, but you may not have heard that we have also shipped thousands of NEMA 4/12 and NEMA 4X industrial keyboards!

So why does an industrial monitor company manufacture industrial keyboards?

We actually started offering keyboards in our second year of business because our customers wanted to attach them to our Universal Mount Monitors as part of a complete stand-alone operator workstation. Then a few years later we started making our own keyboards so we could offer a lot of variations in a consistent family at an affordable price. We also wanted to take advantage of new, stronger materials that were more resistant to punctures and tearing. AND we wanted to offer a standard 3-year warranty like we always have with all our monitors.
Then it was a simple matter to broaden our offering to include models that are not physically attached to our monitors.

The result is we now manufacture 26 different models of industrial keyboards!

How can you include a 3-year warranty when most all the other suppliers only allow one year?

That's exactly what everybody asked us 14 years ago when we did the same thing with industrial monitors (back then nobody had a warranty longer than one year). With over 14 years of experience behind us and more than 60,000 units shipped, we now have plenty of data to show that it was the right decision.

When we started manufacturing our own keyboards back in 2009, we decided to offer the same warranty as our monitors - a full 3 years. Today, with five years of field experience, we can point to that as a good decision for both our customers and for us.
