OverviewThe F38 Series trackball module is a human interface device engineered for extremely demanding environments where reliable pointer control and environmental protection are required. The module is supplied with three integrated switches providing left, middle and right button functions; switch count and positions can be adapted for custom solutions. The aluminium construction delivers impact strength, electrical shielding and environmental protection, while stainless steel shafts and bearings provide precise, durable pointer control. A patent‑protected anti‑vibration technology suppresses unintended cursor movement caused by external shock or vibration. Various top plate styles allow different tracking forces and optional illumination for low‑light operation. The module is designed for front‑of‑panel mounting in rugged keyboards or consoles.
