equip 19-inch 1U Keyboard Drawer with US Keyboard and Trackball
equip 2606121U · 19-inchUS QWERTY + 14 mm trackballUSB · RAL 7035
The equip 260612 is a 1U, 19-inch rack-mount keyboard drawer with a built-in industrial US-layout (QWERTY) keyboard and a 14 mm optical trackball, connected by a single USB cable. It is for server rooms and network cabinets where you need a permanent keyboard and pointing device in the rack without a loose keyboard and mouse sitting on top of the equipment.
The drawer runs on telescopic ball-bearing rails, locks with a key and folds away into one rack unit when not in use. The trackball with two buttons replaces a separate mouse, so everything you need for local console work sits in the tray. Plug the USB cord into your server or KVM switch and pair it with a rack monitor or any screen you already have.
Before you order: The drawer connects over USB only, with a 1.8 m cord, and has no screen. If your server or KVM switch only offers PS/2 console ports, tell us the model and we will check before you order.
What's in the Box
- 19-inch keyboard drawer with integrated keyboard and trackball
- Mounting screws and cage nuts (4 of each)
- 2 keys for the drawer lock
What It Means in Practice
- Occupies a single rack unit at the front of the rack; the drawer body is about 410 mm deep, so leave that much clear space behind the front rails.
- The 1.8 m USB cord reaches a server or KVM switch a few units away in the same rack.
- Normal-sized keys with Windows keys — comfortable for real typing, not just emergency console access.
- The lock keeps the drawer closed in shared or public cabinets.
What Will Not Work
- It is not a KVM console: there is no built-in monitor and no KVM switch — you need a screen and, for several servers, a separate KVM switch.
- No PS/2 connection is listed by equip; PS/2-only consoles need a USB-capable KVM or an adapter.
- Keyboard layout is US English; there are no Greek or other language key legends.
- Not for wall-mount or open frames without 19-inch front rails.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it need a driver?
It connects as a standard USB keyboard and pointing device, so any server or KVM switch that accepts a USB keyboard and mouse can use it.
Can I mount it in a black rack?
Yes, it fits any 19-inch rack with front rails, but the finish is light grey RAL 7035. equip also lists black RAL 9005 keyboard drawers, for example with a touchpad instead of a trackball — ask us and we will point you to the closest match.
How deep must the rack be?
The drawer is about 410 mm deep and fixes to the front frame, so the rack needs at least that much free depth behind the front rails at that unit.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
A keyboard drawer is the tidy answer when you only occasionally need local console access: it keeps the input devices in the rack, out of the way and locked. If you need a screen in the rack as well, a combined LCD KVM drawer saves another unit; otherwise this drawer plus the monitor you already have is the lower-cost route. See our
rack accessories for shelves, blanking panels and cable managers for the same cabinet.
✓ Buy it if you want a permanent US-layout keyboard and trackball in a 19-inch rack, connected by USB to a server or KVM switch.
✕ Skip it if you need a built-in screen, a PS/2-only connection or a non-US key layout.
→ Also consider a black RAL 9005 equip keyboard drawer if your rack is black, or an LCD KVM console drawer if you also need a display.
