Keyboard Modules
Custom keyboard overlays and hard caps may be developed for use on Omnii. The HDK provides
PDF files with details of the artwork that is used on the factory-installed components so that
the colours may be faithfully reproduced to maintain the contrast, visibility and overall look
of the unit.
5.4.6.1 Keyboard Overlays
This section describes the specifics of designing and installing new keyboard overlays on Omnii.
The factory keyboard overlay may be replaced with a custom keyboard overlay. There are two
form factors of Omnii keyboards: a 36-key numeric format, and a 59-key full alphanumeric
format. Make sure you use the correct files and parts for your keyboard type.
You can install the custom overlay on an existing keyboard bezel, provided you first remove (peel
off) the factory-installed overlay. Clean the bezel surface thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol to
remove all traces of the old adhesive before installing the new overlay.
If you wish to install the overlay on a new keyboard bezel, or if you need to replace a damaged
bezel, blank ones can be ordered using the following part numbers:
