Panasonic Lite Keyboard for CF-33 Toughbook Tablet

The Panasonic CF-VKB331M is a detachable keyboard made for the CF-33 Toughbook Tablet. It turns the tablet into a notebook style workstation, adding a comfortable typing surface and a broad set of ports while matching the durability standards of the Toughbook line.

The keyboard provides 87 keys arranged in a US layout. Each key is sealed to meet the IP65 rating so dust and water splashes stay out during field work. A red backlight, adjustable through four brightness levels, keeps the legends easy to read in vehicles at night or inside dim warehouses while preserving night vision.

Docking is straightforward. The tablet can latch from the front or the back, allowing a quick switch between standard notebook mode and a reversed presentation setup. Once connected, the hinge opens to about 100 degrees for a clear view. A built-in handle doubles as a kickstand, letting the system stand on a workbench, a truck tailgate, or any improvised surface.

The CF-VKB331M expands connectivity far beyond the tablet alone. Two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0 port, HDMI and VGA outputs, a LAN jack, a serial port, and a full-size SDXC card slot support everything from legacy test gear to modern projectors and high capacity memory cards. Field technicians can pull data, share briefings, or connect to wired networks without carrying extra adapters.

A Kensington Lock slot is integrated into the housing so the keyboard and tablet can be tethered to a fixed point when the job site requires additional physical security.

Because of its rugged build, versatile dock, and expanded I O, the Panasonic CF-VKB331M suits first responders, utility crews, military personnel, and any professional who relies on a Toughbook in demanding environments yet still needs the comfort of a full keyboard and the convenience of extra ports.
