95-Key External Keyboard

The Thor VM2 uses an optional rugged QWERTY 95 key keyboard, designed for ease of use with the Windows CE operating
system. The keyboard connects directly to the D9 USB connector on the Thor VM2 Quick Mount Smart Dock.
The 95 key keyboard supports all 104 keyboard functions (101 standard keyboard plus Windows keys) and includes an
l
integrated pointing device and left and right mouse buttons. However, because the keyboard only has 95 keys, all
functions are not visible (or printed on the keyboard). Therefore the keyboard supports what is called hidden keys - keys
that are accessible but not visible on the keyboard.
The 95 key keyboard keys are backlit. The keyboard backlight is manually controlled.
