A Keyboard That Provides Military Might
Designed for the armed forces, the iKey AK-39 is a wearable rugged keyboard that is available in left- or right-arm versions. The AK-39 has a built-in USB cable, an integrated Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) pointing device with left-and right-click functionality, and adjustable green LED backlighting that is also available in a night vision (NVIS) compatible configuration. Since the keyword was designed as a glove, the AK-39's snap-on faceplate eliminates accidental key strokes. The AK-39 meets MIL-461 standards, which includes its use in very harsh electromagnetic interference (EMI) environments, and it can operate in extended temperature ranges of -40 C to +70 C.
The AK-39 was released in July, but Austin, Texas-based iKey has not publicly announced pricing nor has it said whether it will become available for civilian use.
