While
touch screens are a standard feature of all MontegoNet kiosks,
we can also incorporate an industrial strength keyboard/trackball
unit when needed. This is particularly useful for HR, banking
and e-mail kiosks, which often require users to input data.
The trackball is also useful for navigating web sites that are
not particularly "finger-friendly" - that is, sites
with small text links that are hard to accurately touch with
a finger.
Unlike desktop keyboards, the keyboard/trackball that MontegoNet
uses is designed to handle the rugged demands of public use.
All of the keys (along with the trackball) are sealed against
water and dust, and they cannot be removed from the keyboard.
Furthermore, the letters & numbers are laser-etched into
the keys (rather than being printed on), so they will not
rub off over time.
The keyboard/trackball is a standard
feature on our Barbados model,
and can be added to our Atlantic
kiosk.
