The Cortron Model 79 series Rugged Keyboard offers Cortron’s ultra-reliability, and quality in a compact package ideal for high density applications. The key layout is designed to minimize left-right dimensions (and omits a number pad) for increased installation flexibility and includes a Euro style L-shaped enter key and secondary illumination for a number pad embedded within the QWERTY section. The product is virtually impervious to contaminants found in the harshest applications, both in and out of shelters. Vital electronics and switch bearing surfaces are sealed for long-term survival and protection against water, beverages, sand, dust, dirt, and many chemicals. Units can be cleaned in the sink with soap and hot water or hosed down in the field. The Model 79 is designed and manufactured for reliable trouble-free operation in life dependent applications typical of shipboard, airborne, ground mobile, and severe industrial applications.

The Model 79 key layout and design, like all Cortron keyboards is designed to reduce the stress and strain on end users. High contrast non-backlit and negative image (white on dark) keys with backlighting options provide high visibility in nearly all applications. The sculptured, full travel key switches have been ergonomically positioned for optimal typing and high speed data entry.
