Point of Sale macro Keyboards! - multiple layers & robust

Just something that might be of interest .. an something I dabbled in as I used to be inolved in point of sale systems.. the keyboards used on these are bloody brilliant controllers for dj /production systems and robust as hell as they are designed to live in bars and heavy hammering from cash register staff!

I’ve attached a sample image of a way overpriced tipro one ($500!), but you can pick similar up from china for under $100 (check alibaba) with the software for creating the Macros.

Most have multiple layers and you can buy keycaps to make 2x2 large keys:slight_smile:

Theres a few gamer keyboards that would do the trick nicely as well but most don’t have that many layers or the durability (and do have the price!)

Considering you get 108 x 4 layers programmable buttons .. not bad huh :smiley:

Oh forgot to mention you can internally daisy chain the one below together with other same model

Kool idea!

How did you label it?

I didn’t make that one … But have made others similar with an 8 x 4 grid (2x2 button size) which I ditched when I moved over to mac (the keyboards I had were only PS2 and non-mac compatible USB)

The programing software cd though even comes with templates and labler:slight_smile:

All the buttons are clear-caps .. so you just cut the labels and place em under the cap.

BTW .. as an example of whats out there …Alibaba.com
