USB POS Keyboard with MSR

The HP FK218AA#ABA is a full-size USB keyboard built for point-of-sale environments. It integrates a three-track magnetic stripe reader and a touchpad with two mouse buttons. The 106-key layout includes 28 relegendable keys for custom functions. An IP54 rating protects the key area against spills and dust.

Suited for retail counters not for mobile use

This keyboard fits fixed POS stations that need card reading and cursor control in one unit. The USB 2.0 plug-and-play interface simplifies deployment on compatible HP systems. Operations requiring a detachable reader or a compact handheld form factor should consider a different device.

28 relegendable keys define flexibility

The 28 reconfigurable keys let each station adapt to specific software workflows without hardware changes. This single figure determines whether the keyboard can replace fixed-function keypads in your environment.

Questions about this item

Will this USB 2.0 POS keyboard plug straight into my RP5000 terminal without extra cabling?

Yes — the keyboard uses a standard USB 2.0 connection that is plug-and-play on the RP3000, RP5000 and RP5700 systems listed in the specifications.

Can I keep using my existing serial-barcode scanner while this keyboard handles magnetic stripe reads on its 3-track MSR?

The keyboard’s integrated 3-track magnetic stripe reader operates over the same USB link, leaving other ports free for legacy serial or USB peripherals such as a barcode scanner.

How do I verify the 28 reconfigurable keys and touchpad are active after I install the included software CD?

Launch the supplied Keyboard w/MSR Software — it shows a live key-map where each of the 28 relegendable keys and the touchpad with two mouse buttons can be tested and programmed.
