How to Choose the Right CK67 Keyboard for Your Work Environment

When helping people decide which keyboard layout to choose for the Honeywell CK67 mobile computer, it’s essential to consider the specific use cases and environments where the device will be deployed. Each keyboard layout is designed to optimize different types of work, from basic numeric entry to total alphanumeric input.

Factors to Consider:

Input Type: An alphanumeric keyboard is essential for heavy text entry tasks (e.g., product descriptions and long codes). If the task is primarily numeric, choose a numeric keyboard.

Work Environment: In fast-paced environments where users wear gloves (e.g., cold storage or outdoors), a layout with larger keys might be easier to handle.

Task Complexity: If your workflows frequently use function keys for specialized tasks (e.g., toggling between different screens or functions), consider a layout with a wide range of function keys.

Ergonomics: Consider how comfortable and fast the operator can type on the keyboard, especially when switching between different input types. Workers who primarily enter numbers but need occasional function key access will benefit from a numeric keypad with function keys. Factors to Consider:
