A smoother route to thorough disinfection
Keyboards can be difficult to disinfect when dirt and residue gather around raised keys and open gaps. The AK-C8100 replaces those hard-to-reach areas with a seamless, low-profile silicone membrane. Teams can spray and wipe the key field more thoroughly, while the protected surface helps keep dirt and fluids away from the internal key mechanism.
Cleaning that works around the working day
Routine cleaning should support the workflow, not create extra disruption. CleanFunction lets users temporarily lock the key field before a wipe-down, helping prevent accidental keystrokes during cleaning. Once the surface is ready, the key field can be reactivated and work can continue, making regular hygiene tasks easier to build into busy shifts and shared workstation routines.
Easier key action for physical access needs
For people with physical disabilities, reduced hand strength or hand fatigue, firm or unstable keys can make repeated typing more demanding. The AK-C8100 uses low-force actuation, precise scissor-guided movement and short key travel to support a lighter, controlled feel. Suitability will vary, so the keyboard should be considered alongside the individual’s wider workstation setup and ergonomic needs.
A practical hygiene standard for organisations
Standardising a wipe-clean keyboard across hygiene-critical workstations can make cleaning processes more consistent and easier to explain to teams. The AK-C8100’s flat membrane, cleaning lock and choice of protected variants support repeatable routines without sacrificing a familiar full-size layout. For organisations, that can mean simpler deployment, less disruption during wipe-downs and dependable equipment for demanding shared environments.
Protection options to suit each environment
Different settings need different levels of protection. UK models include wired, fully sealed IP68 versions in white or black, alongside removable-cover options and a wireless removable-cover model in white. This choice allows teams to match the keyboard to their cleaning method, workstation layout and connectivity needs while keeping the same full-size format across the AK-C8100 range.
Our happy customers
Just finished my last session with Hafsa Aiyub. She is amazing she was so understanding and kind. She explained everything perfectly and in a lovely manner which was helpful because i have ADHD. If i was unsure she would repeat it and ask if i understood it. She made me feel welcomed and comfortable She was always happy to answer any questions i had and we had some giggles throughout the sessions. I will miss her and the sessions. The service was very helpful and I've been using the software in between sessions and it actually helped me on my last assignment so much. Thank you so much Hafsa for helping me o my education journey
Donna at Remtek did both my assessment and set up. She made me feel at ease and I felt my needs were fully assessed and adhered to. At all times compassion and understanding of my disabilities and limitations were acknowledged. I felt in good hands. My ergonomic equipment will definitely assist my learning and ability to progress successfully. Thank you Remtek for your caring support.
As I'm someone who struggles to communicate and take in information, I found Ian to be friendly, patient and reassuring. He checked to make sure I was understanding the information that was being taught and explained things in easy and understandable ways therefore I tended not to have questions. I am very thankful for the help and training I have had with Ian. The training he has given has allowed me to write up my essays far easier than before I had the knowledge I now have regarding the programmes.
I have just had my last session of workplace coaching with John-Michael Farrar. I have found the sessions with John-Michael extremely useful, helping me put practices in place to make everything run so much more smoothly and less stress along the way. It has been really good to chat with John-MIchael over the sessions with someone who understands without any judgement and is always friendly and positive. I can't thank John-Michael enough, it has been life changing for me. I am looking forward to the New Year with a great deal of positivity. Thank you again John-Michael
I had the great pleasure of having my AT training undertaken by James Grayston! What an asset to your company! James delivery of the content was incredibly insightful, and his expertise and enthusiasm made the entire learning experience engaging and effective. I now feel empowered and confident in my new skills and I am now confident that I will complete my course easily!
I had an ergonomic assessment with Donna today. She was incredibly kind, professional, and took the time to listen to my concerns. I really felt like she understood the barriers I face with my studies and was very knowledgeable about the best tools to help me. She made a potentially stressful process feel very easy and supportive. I’m very grateful for the support and appreciate it, thank you Donna.
Jamie was my ergonomic assessor and he was absolutely brilliant, so lovely and helpful, really understanding. Simon came to deliver and install all my equipment and was very friendly, informative, made any changes I asked, and was very helpful and gave great customer service. 10/10 for both of them, great reflections of Remtek
