DESCRIPTION

Unlike conventional keypads, where data is entered by pressing a mechanical key, the solid buttons of an iButton keypad allow users to enter data by simply touching each button with an iButton probe or handheld computer. Each of these buttons comes from the factory with blank memory, allowing the user to program each button with whatever data the user would like entered when touched. The iButton keypad is a simple, robust alternative for data entry in harsh environments such as outdoors, industrial workplaces and other locations, where a normal keypad is impractical to operate. Since iButtons are made from stainless steel, this keypad is easily cleaned with hot water and detergent.
