Trackball Keyboard vs. Touchpad Keyboard - which is the right choice for you?
It can be tough to decide, but we're here to help!
 
if your equipment is used outdoors and requires high waterproofing, and the keyboard needs to be installed vertically, you choose the touchpad keyboard.
if your equipment is used in a dusty and oily environment, Gloves are required for operation and do not need to be installed vertically, you choose a trackball keyboard.

 
Our industrial keyboard experts have compared and contrasted the two types of keyboards to help you make the right choice for your needs.
 
Touchpads are great for those who want a traditional keyboard feel, while trackballs are perfect for precision work. We've broken down the pros and cons of each type of keyboard so you can choose the one that's perfect for you.

The trackball keyboard is great for precise movement and offers a more comfortable grip than a touchpad. Plus, there's no need to worry about making accidental mouse clicks while you type!


The disadvantage of the trackball keyboard is that there is always a gap around the trackball, which makes it much less waterproof, usually only up to the IP54 rating. Also due to the internal structure of the trackball, when installed vertically, the gravity factor will cause the ball to lose contact with the scroll wheel, resulting in the vertical pointing in the screen is no longer accurate, the trackball keyboard is less suitable for vertical installation.

Touchpad keyboard is perfect if you want to move your cursor around quickly. They also tend to be smaller and lighter than trackball keyboards
 
Touchpad keyboards are a great way to make your computer work faster and easier. They're perfect for people who want the convenience of a keyboard with the functionality of a touchpad. Industrial touchpad keyboards are designed for use in industrial settings, making them tougher and more durable than standard touchpad keyboards. The touchpad is fully sealed, and it can achieve an IP65 or even higher waterproof rating, which makes them ideal for use in wet or outdoor environments.

 
but the touchpads are often quite small, making them difficult to use. Second, it can be challenging to keep clean in tough environments. And finally, they can be very sensitive to dirt and dust, which can cause malfunctions.  When your equipment using environment is more dust, oil, and the need to wear gloves to operate, the touchpad is not convenient to operate.
