KeySonic KSK-6231INEL — IP68 Silicone Keyboard with Touchpad and Backlight, UK English
IP68 sealedWorks with glovesBlue backlightAntimicrobial
The KeySonic KSK-6231INEL (28093) is a fully sealed silicone keyboard for places where an ordinary keyboard does not survive: laboratories, production lines, workshops, kitchens and clinical rooms. The whole surface is silicone-coated and rated IP68 — dust-tight and protected against permanent immersion — so it can be rinsed, wiped down and disinfected rather than replaced. An integrated touchpad with two mouse buttons replaces the mouse entirely and still works through rubber gloves, a blue backlight with two brightness levels makes it readable in a dark room, and the key markings are UV-resistant so they do not fade in sunlight. It is 10 mm thin, weighs 600 g, and plugs into any USB port. This part number is the UK English layout in black. It is also available in white as KSK-6231INEL-WH.
Compatibility — check before buying:
Plug and play over USB 2.0 Type-A with a 1.8 m fixed cable, powered from the port. KeySonic lists Windows as the supported system; the touchpad and keyboard follow standard HID, so they work on macOS and Linux too. The keys use carbon contacts with plastic pestles rated at about 2 million strokes — robust for a sealed keyboard but well below a mechanical office board, so this is a keyboard for hostile environments rather than for a heavy typing desk. The silicone surface gives a soft, damped keystroke that takes some getting used to. Layout: UK English QWERTY has the tall Enter key, £ on Shift+3, and @ and " swapped compared with US layout. Letters and numbers are identical to US; if you need the US key shapes, ask us for the US International version. There is no numeric keypad in the standard sense — the 98-key layout is compact.
Best For
✓ Laboratories and cleanrooms that wash equipment down
✓ Food production, kitchens and wet areas
✓ Workshops and factory floors with dust and swarf

Key Features
IP68 — wash it
Dust-tight and protected against permanent immersion: rinse it under a tap, wipe it with disinfectant, keep working. The silicone coating has an antimicrobial finish.
Touchpad instead of a mouse
A sealed 60 × 43 mm touchpad with two mouse buttons handles the cursor, so there is no second device to contaminate or lose. It responds through gloves.
Blue backlight, three status LEDs
On/off switch with two brightness levels, plus Num, Caps and Scroll Lock indicators — readable in a darkened lab or control room.
Built for the environment
−20 to +70 °C operation, up to 100% relative humidity, UV-resistant key markings and a 10 mm profile that wipes down flat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really wash it?
Yes. IP68 means dust-tight and protected against permanent immersion, so rinsing and disinfecting are exactly what it is built for. Dry it before use.
Does the touchpad work with gloves?
Yes — KeySonic designs it for rubber-glove use, which is the main reason to choose a sealed keyboard with a built-in touchpad.
Is it good for all-day typing?
It is built for hostile environments, not for speed: the silicone keys are soft and rated at about 2 million strokes. For a typing desk, choose a normal office keyboard.
Which layout is this?
Article 28093 is the UK English layout. KeySonic also lists German, US, French, Swiss and Czech versions under different article numbers.
Singular Expert Insight
This is the keyboard to specify when the room, not the user, is the problem — water, dust, chemicals or a disinfection routine. For a normal desk it is the wrong tool: the soft silicone keys and 2-million-stroke rating are the price of the sealing. See the rest of our
keyboards, and tell us the environment and layout and we will confirm the right article number.
