Mighter Spot
Multi-Protocol Dealing Keyboard - 4050
The MPKB 4050 keyboard is designed specifically for use
on the SPOT, Fixed Income traders and FX trader’s
desktop.
It provides a logical replacement for those aging
Dealing 3000, AHK3000, EK and HK2000 dealing keyboards,
with logically laid out single keyboard solution for all
major information services avoiding the use of complex
multiple function keys. All major market-data service
keys are provided as standard together with dedicated
selection keys for up to six services.
The keyboard has been designed to integrate fully with
the Mighter range of switching and driving products,
with Reuters Dealing 3000, Bloomberg, EBS and 3PC’s, but
can also be used with other PS/2, Sun, Bloomberg and
Reuters system units.
Desk clutter and the associated stress factor is
reduced. Market Dealing / Data may be shared with
contended control between dual users with the associated
cost savings (License agreements permitting)
Key Benefits:
