Product Information

Full details

The Active Key AK-4400-GU-W/US keyboard is designed for users in space-critical environments such as server racks and kiosks, offering a compact, reliable, and hygienic input solution. Its key benefit lies in its integrated touchpad and low-profile design, eliminating the need for a separate mouse and fitting into tight spaces. A potential caveat is its specific US English layout, which may not suit all international users. This keyboard features a sealed, spill-resistant design, quiet operation, and tactile scissor-switch keys for comfortable and durable use.

How do I clean the keyboard effectively?

Troubleshooting

Keyboard or touchpad not recognized

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the keyboard and the computer. Try connecting to a different USB port. Restart your computer.

Keys are unresponsive or sticky

Unplug the keyboard and clean the affected keys with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Ensure no liquid has seeped under the keys. Avoid using excessive force.
