Active Key AK-PMH3 — Wireless Medical Mouse with 3-Button Scroll, White
IP68 fully sealed siliconeSealed 3-key scroll strip, no wheel2.4 GHz USB dongleAmbidextrous, 1000 DPI
The Active Key AK-PMH3 is a hygiene mouse for hospitals, medical practices, dental surgeries and laboratories: a fully sealed silicone body rated IP68 with no scroll wheel at all — a sealed three-key scroll strip under the membrane replaces it, the variant Active Key recommends where precise, step-by-step scrolling matters (patient lists, imaging) — so there is nowhere for dirt or liquid to collect and the whole mouse can be wipe-disinfected between users with the clinical agents on the VAH list. It connects over 2.4 GHz through a USB nano dongle, tracks at 1000 DPI with an optical sensor tuned for glossy surfaces, is symmetrical for left- or right-handed use, and runs on one AA battery (included). Part number AK-PMH3OB-FUS-W, EAN 7061112400976, in white. Active Key is now part of Contour Design; during the transition the box may carry CHERRY branding. Tell us your disinfection protocol and we will confirm this is the right model.
Compatibility — check before buying:
Wireless is 2.4 GHz only through the included USB-A nano dongle — there is no Bluetooth. Battery: 1 x AA alkaline, not rechargeable; Active Key publishes no hours figure per model, only a general “up to a year” in its FAQ. Scrolling is by three sealed keys, not a wheel: precise steps rather than a swipe; the touch-scroll OS variant suits general office use. Do not order the wired version by mistake (the part number contains US instead of FUS) or the touch-scroll version (OS instead of OB) unless you want them. It is not a medical device under MDR 2017/745; it is IT equipment certified to EN 60601-1-2 for use in medical environments. Do not use oily or greasy disinfectants.

Key Features
Sealed, IP68, disinfectable
A one-piece silicone membrane seals the electronics to IP68. Wipe it with clinical surface disinfectants from the VAH list; Active Key publishes compatibility guidance in its FAQ.
Three sealed scroll keys instead of a wheel
A sealed three-key scroll strip replaces the wheel, the part of a mouse that traps debris. Active Key positions this 3-button scroll version for precise scrolling, the touch-scroll version for office use. Two short-travel keys under the membrane give a clear click.
Blue-light sensor, 1 x AA
A blue-light optical sensor in the base tracks at 1000 DPI on glossy desks and worktops. One AA battery, a 2.4 GHz nano dongle with about 10 m range, and about 93 g in hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I disinfect the AK-PMH3 with our usual wipes?
Yes, with clinical surface disinfectants on the VAH list; the IP68 seal covers the whole mouse. Avoid oily or greasy products. Send us the product name of your disinfectant and we will check.
How do I scroll without a wheel?
Three sealed keys where the wheel would be: up, down and a middle function. It is the precise-scrolling variant; the touch-scroll OS version suits general office use.
Is it Bluetooth?
No. It uses a 2.4 GHz USB dongle only, which is also what most hospital IT departments prefer.
What is the difference between the OB and OS versions?
OB (this one) has a sealed three-key scroll strip for precise scrolling; OS has a touch scroll sensor. Same IP68 body, sensor, dongle and battery.
Singular Expert Insight
The PMH3 is the current sealed mouse in the Active Key range and the one we recommend for new installations; it also exists wired (US) and with a three-button wheel (OB) if a protocol calls for either. Pair it with an Active Key sealed keyboard for a complete wipe-down workstation, and see our other wireless mice for non-medical options.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You need a mouse that is wiped down between users, with no wheel to trap dirt, an IP68 seal and a plain 2.4 GHz dongle.
Skip it if
You need Bluetooth, a rechargeable battery, or a conventional wheel for long scrolling; or you meant the wired (US) or three-button (OB) variant.
Also consider
The AK-PMH3 touch-scroll (OS) version, its wired version for fixed workstations, or an Active Key sealed keyboard to match.
