Jaltest Detachable Keyboard — For Jaltest Rugged Tablet

The Jaltest Detachable Keyboard (Part #78901039) is a purpose-built keyboard accessory designed to work with the Jaltest Rugged Pad tablet. When you need to type VINs, enter search terms, input service notes, or navigate text-heavy sections of the Jaltest software, a physical keyboard is faster and more accurate than an on-screen touchscreen keyboard — especially when wearing gloves or working in a shop environment where precision touch input is difficult.

The detachable design gives you the best of both worlds: the portability and ergonomics of a tablet when moving around the vehicle or shop floor, and the productivity of a physical keyboard when you are at a workbench or service counter entering data.

Why a Detachable Keyboard Matters in a Shop Environment

• Faster Data Entry: Typing VINs, customer information, service codes, and diagnostic notes is significantly faster on a physical keyboard than a touchscreen — especially for technicians who spend hours a day in diagnostic software
• Glove-Compatible Workflow: A physical keyboard works regardless of glove type or cleanliness — touchscreens require bare, clean, dry fingers to register accurately
• Detachable Design: Attach when entering data at a stationary position; remove when you need tablet portability for live data monitoring at the vehicle
• Purpose-Built for Jaltest Rugged Pad: Designed specifically to pair with the Jaltest tablet — no compatibility guesswork, proper fit, and secure attachment
• Reduces Errors: Physical key tactile feedback reduces typo rates compared to on-screen keyboards — important when entering calibration values, parameter changes, or customer data
• Professional Appearance: A technician with a proper keyboard setup looks more professional when presenting diagnostics to customers than fumbling with an on-screen keyboard

Who Should Add This Keyboard?

Any shop running the Jaltest Rugged Pad that does volume diagnostic work. If your technicians are entering data regularly — customer records, diagnostic reports, calibration parameters — the keyboard pays for itself in time savings quickly. It is also the right accessory for shops that use Jaltest for customer-facing reports, where the efficiency of a physical keyboard makes the difference between a 10-minute write-up and a 3-minute one.
