Description of NICE MoonKey MOSE – key switch with standard cylinder, surface-mounted
Key switch NICE MOSE has been discontinued.
Its fully compatible successor is NICE Era Key Switch EKS.
NICE MOSE is a mechanical key switch in the NICE MoonKey, which lets you control operators from brands including NICE. The key switch is two-position, meaning the key can be turned either to the right or to the left. You can assign a different command to each position. The switch is spring-return, meaning that a spring returns it to its starting position. An aluminium post can be purchased separately for the switch: NICE MOCS.
