A manufacturer of ruggedized portable computers needed
a keyboard with durable key switch technology in a specific
footprint and matched exactly to the colors of the planned
laptop computer. The short key travel and low profile of
a laptop keyboard were also critical.

The customer’s dimensional requirements precisely matched
the dimensions of Cherry’s standard G80-1800 series
compact keyboard, so Cherry created a customer keyboard around
this layout, using in-house low-profile key switch technology.
Cherry then matched keycap color to that of the portable
computer using spectral analysis at our test lab in Germany.

For this custom solution, Cherry employed the following capabilities:
• Low-profile key switch technology,
tested to 50 million operations
• In-house spectral analysis for
precise color matching
