Key Blockers

Key blockers for X-keys XK series

Key blockers take the place of any single key and leave a flat surface at case deck height for a professionally finished look. These key blockers snap over Cherry MX switches and may be removed or swapped with keycaps to modify or update a key configuration. Use key blockers to knock out a row or column of switches or to group keys by function. Key blockers for these X-keys feature a hole to allow the LED to shine through.

Industrial Keycaps

Industrial key PIN pad numbers set

These are perfect for a developers or implementers who do not want the end user to change the keys. Industrial keycaps use square key legends which easily printed, cut out, and assembled into the key cap. A clear lens holds the legend securely in place and discourages users from making their own modifications. Updating the legends requires removing the key cap from the switch and poking the lens out from the back side with the end of a paper clip or tip of a nail file. The 1x2 key may be used as either a tall or wide key.
