The KeyWarrior chip family encapsulates the whole protocol and electronic know-how for building a keyboard with or without embedded mouse function. Wether you need few or many keys, or programmable macro functions, KeyWarrior is an easy to use solution.

Several options for programming the keyboard layout, including complex macros, make KeyWarrior very flexible to allow the design of customer specific keyboards.

Currently KeyWarrior is moving to the next generation. For new designs please contact us for advance information on the upcoming chips. KeyWarrior28 is the first of the new generation of KeyWarrior chips.
