hello there
we have quite a bit of experience in creating media for museums, including
media requiring keyboard inputs (as well as highly restricted internet
access). In a Windows environment what may help you is some software called
Full Control, there is more about it here: http://www.bardon.com/fc.htm
That's a software answer, rather than a keyboard/hardware answer, but it
extremely reliable - and not able to be "hacked".
I hope that helps,
regards
emily

Subject: Keyboards in exhibits
There are times when you just have to offer keyboard inputs. I am
interested in both removing all control keys (on PC the Alt, Cntl, Caps
Lock, windows key, function Keys, and on Mac the option and command key) and
essentially offering the absolute minimum, letters, numbers, shift and tab.
Has anyone found a source of "custom" keybaords such as this? They would
need to be ruggedized to prevent liquid or little objects from getting in.
I know about NSI in Belgium from the archives but they don't have anything
with a limited set of keys.
