You can never know the situations you’ll have the chance or, on the other hand, the misfortune, to experience in a lifetime, so it’s necessary for you to always be as cautious as possible. You can never know when you’ll be in the position to need a wearable keyboard, but if it will ever happen to you such thing, you shouldn’t worry, because the guys over iKey have already taken care of this aspect.

They came up with the AK-39 keyboard, which can be worn by those who need it, on the arm. This is what they call a human interface device (also known as HID). A great thing about it is the fact that it comes in a rugged outfit, which means it meets the MIL-461 standards. In consequence, you can always use the keyboard in harsh conditions and you can be sure of the fact it won’t mind.

The device comes with a pointing device that is based on the technology known as Force Sensing Resistor (FSR), having a left and right-button functionality, and with a green LED backlighting that can be adjusted. The latter is equipped with night vision compatibility.

The keyboard measures no more than 6.91 x 3.06 x 0.81 inches and comes with 39-key pad. It is resistant to all sorts of factors, such as water, debris and dust, and it’s able to function between -40 and +70 degrees Celsius.

“The AK-39 is the most functional and versatile wearable keyboard available with robust EMI performance” said Pete Fuselier, the Engineering Manager at iKey. “And because it is designed and built to the high standards of iKey products, it is ruggedized to withstand harsh environmental conditions, such as rain, dirt and extreme temperatures”.
