Overview
The P38 Series backlit mechanical trackballs are compact back-of-panel pointer modules for OEM keyboards and consoles. Available with multiple backlit ball colours, electrical outputs and sealing options up to IP65, they suit applications requiring reliable pointer control in confined or rugged installations. Stainless steel shafts and bearings provide precise tracking while a patented floating seal reduces ingress of liquids and particulates. Multiple top-plate and chassis configurations allow selection of sealing level, tracking force and installation style.
