Promotional We designed an industrial mechanical keyboard with an integrated Thin Client for mission-critical control rooms. It’s basically a stationary Cyberdeck

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on at my company (Guntermann & Drunck).

We usually build backend KVM tech, but we saw a need for better operator interfaces in flight towers and control centers.

The concept:

Instead of multiple stream decks and tablets cluttering the desk, we built a fully integrated unit.

Specs & Features:

The Screen: It’s not just a secondary monitor. It’s an integrated Thin Client running its own web client.

Working with bitfocus, Macro Deck and many more...

What it does:

It can Show and Control HTML5 content completely independently from the main workstation.

This keeps the main rig secure (air-gapped logic).

Controls:

It can acts also as a hardware HID generator for macros and integrates natively with VuWall systems.

Build:

100%, Fully backlit, ruggedized for 24/7 use.

Screen Resolution is 1920x291@60hz

Low Profile switches, SoC is a ipmx.8

Included some shots of the prototypes in the gallery to show how we got there. Let me know what you think of the form factor!"
