KeySonic KSK-8030IN — IP68 / NEMA 4X Industrial Silicone Keyboard, UK English
IP68 + NEMA 4XFull 105-key layout12 mm thinWipe-down silicone
The KeySonic KSK-8030IN (28084) is a full-size sealed keyboard for washdown environments — food processing, pharmaceutical production, laboratories, hospitals and industrial lines where the cleaning schedule, not the typist, dictates the hardware. The whole body is silicone and carries both IP68 and NEMA 4X ratings, so it stands up to dust, immersion, hose-down cleaning and corrosive cleaning agents. Unlike the compact sealed boards, it keeps a complete 105-key layout with a proper numeric pad, so batch numbers, weights and codes can be entered at speed. It measures 440 × 138 × 12 mm and weighs 680 g — flat enough to wipe across in one pass, heavy enough to stay put on a stainless bench. It plugs into any USB port and needs no drivers. This article number is the UK English layout in black.
Compatibility — check before buying:
Plug and play over USB, powered from the port and following standard HID, so it types on Windows, macOS and Linux without drivers. There is no touchpad on this model — if you need pointing built in, choose the KSK-5031IN or KSK-5230IN, which include one. There is no backlight. The keys are silicone with a soft, damped stroke and no click: excellent under gloves, but slower than an office keyboard for continuous prose. It is wired only. IP68 and NEMA 4X mean it survives washing, hose-down and corrosive cleaning agents, but dry it before use and do not put it in a dishwasher or autoclave.
Best For
✓ Food processing and beverage production with hose-down cleaning
✓ Pharmaceutical and cleanroom-adjacent workstations
✓ Laboratories and hospital rooms requiring disinfection
✓ Packing lines where batch and weight data is entered constantly
✓ Workshops with dust, oil and coolant
✓ Any station where a keyboard is currently replaced every few months
Key Features
IP68 and NEMA 4X together
Dust-tight, protected against immersion and rated for washdown and corrosive cleaning agents — the combination that lets it stay on a line that gets hosed at the end of a shift.
Full layout, sealed
105 keys including the numeric pad, so data entry is not slowed down by a compact keyboard.
Flat and wipeable
440 × 138 × 12 mm: a single silicone surface with no gaps for product or bacteria to collect in.
Stays on the bench
680 g means it does not slide across stainless steel when you type quickly or push it aside to clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does NEMA 4X add over IP68?
IP68 covers dust and immersion; NEMA 4X adds hose-directed water and corrosion resistance, which is what matters when the line is cleaned with chemicals rather than a cloth.
Does it have a touchpad?
No. For a sealed keyboard with pointing built in, choose the KSK-5031IN or the KSK-5230IN.
Can it go in a dishwasher or autoclave?
No. Wipe, rinse or hose it and dry it before use — heat and pressure cycles are outside its rating.

Singular Expert Insight
This is the one to specify when a washdown station keeps eating ordinary keyboards and the operators still need a numeric pad. If space on the bench is the constraint instead, the mini KSK-5031IN with its built-in touchpad is the better fit. See our other
keyboards or send us the environment and we will confirm the article number.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You need a full-size, fully sealed IP68 and NEMA 4X keyboard with a numeric pad for a washdown or laboratory environment, in UK English layout.
