There are keyboards made of stainless steel, aluminum or other metals that are specifically designed for use in harsh, dirty environments or in public spaces. Metal keyboards are more resistant to mechanical stress, easier to clean, UV light and temperature insensitive. Disadvantages include the higher weight and manufacturing costs. They are not suitable for writing longer texts because the buttons are usually very hard to press.
Moreover, there is contamination resistant rubber keyboards. These are often used in garages or companies that work with liquids, such as oil.
Compact designs
Compact computer keyboards occupy a smaller footprint than conventional keyboards and are therefore particularly suitable for applications where little space is available, for example on the knees of wheelchair users. There are also low-profile keyboards, which usually have a normal keyboard layout but are much flatter (slim).
For applications where mobility is important, there are folding keyboards and flexible plastic keypads that can be rolled up.
Rubber-made models are also waterproof. Folding and rubber keypads are offered as a supplement to the mounting position due to very small screen keyboards of PDAs, and other portable tablet computers like the iPad and Dell Computer Repair Sydney.
