CedaGlo C63 Keypad Mobile Computer
Octa-core Android 13, three keypad layouts and a grip that doubles your runtime — at a materially lower cost per unit.
One device, configured for the job. Start with the 385 g handheld, pick 27, 37 or 47 keys, clip on the hand strap for all-shift picking, or snap on the pistol grip and add a second 5,000 mAh battery for high-trigger scanning. Inside is the same Zebra SE-series or Honeywell N-series imager those two vendors fit to their own handhelds, sealed to IP67 and drop-rated to 1.5 m across the full operating temperature range. If you are cross-shopping the Zebra MC3300x or the Honeywell CK65, put the C63 on the same shortlist — then compare the quotes.

Overview
Teams coming off Windows CE green screens run into the same wall twice: touch-only Android handhelds are quick to buy but slow to type on, and the keypad computers that actually fit the workflow arrive with a quote that stalls the project. The C63 removes both objections. Choose 27, 37 or 47 keys so the layout matches the task — scan-and-confirm picking, numeric receiving, or full alphanumeric batch entry — then decide how it is carried: bare at 385 g, on the hand strap, or on the detachable pistol grip that brings a second 5,000 mAh battery with it. The imager is a genuine Zebra SE-series or Honeywell N-series unit, the same parts Zebra and Honeywell put in their own machines, and long-range engine options reach barcodes in the top bay. Around them sits Android 13 on an octa-core 2.0 GHz platform with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB UFS storage, IP67 sealing, 1.5 m drops across the full operating temperature range, and a 50 mAh backup cell that keeps the session alive through a battery swap.

* Scan engines per order: Zebra SE4710 / SE4750 / SE4850 / SE55 / SE58; Honeywell N6603 / N6703 / N6803FR; or CM60. The barcode module is an optional function, and long-range performance depends on which engine is fitted — confirm the engine against your longest read distance before the order is placed. The hand strap, the pistol grip and every scan engine option fit all three keypad versions; nothing in this table is mutually exclusive.

Where the C63 Works
Warehouse Picking
- Key the quantity without leaving the aisle
- Trigger long sweeps from the pistol grip
- Roam between aisles without dropping session
The C63 edge: Eyes stay on the label, not on the screen.
Production Line Tracking
- Log batch codes on the alphanumeric keypad
- Scan parts moving past at line speed
- Survive 1.5 m drops onto bare concrete
The C63 edge: One layout per team, not one per app.
Retail Stockroom
- Count stock with the gloves still on
- Read shelf labels from the top bay
- Hot swap batteries between the two shifts
The C63 edge: Gloves never come off between two scans.
Parcel Sorting
- Punch route codes without looking down
- Capture damaged parcels with the camera
- Work wet hands through the morning load
The C63 edge: A battery swap never costs you a session.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the C63 perform in a real aisle — not just on the datasheet?
Scanning is only as good as the engine you order, and the engines here come from Zebra and Honeywell themselves: Zebra SE4710, SE4750, SE4850, SE55 or SE58, or Honeywell N6603, N6703 or N6803FR. Standard-range units cover the arm's-length work; the long-range options reach labels in the top bay without a lift. Underneath, an octa-core 2.0 GHz platform with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB UFS storage keeps the scan-to-screen loop instant after ten thousand reads, and 802.11r, OKC and PMKID roaming hand the session between access points without dropping the WMS connection mid-aisle.
Which keypad should I order — 27, 37 or 47 keys?
Match the layout to the entry, not to the price list. The 27-key version is the cleanest for scan-and-confirm picking, where the answer is usually a quantity and a yes. The 37-key version adds the function rows for numeric receiving and shortcut-driven screens. The 47-key version carries a full alphanumeric block for batch codes, lot numbers and free-text notes typed without the on-screen keyboard. All three take the same hand strap, the same detachable pistol grip, the same scan engines and the same batteries, so nothing in the choice locks you out of anything else.
How does the C63 compare with a Zebra MC3300ax or a Honeywell CK65?
Open the housings. The imager in your C63 is a Zebra or a Honeywell unit, from the same two vendors that build the Zebra MC3300ax and the Honeywell CK65, and it reads the same symbologies at the same distances for the engine you pick. Android 13 runs on an octa-core platform with 64 GB of storage, the housing is sealed to IP67, and the battery hot-swaps on a 50 mAh backup cell so the session survives the change. Where the MC3300ax and the CK65 pull ahead is the ecosystem — device management suites, published lifecycle dates, multi-year OS commitments. If your fleet is built on those, buy those. If what you need is capture performance, you give up a logo, not a capability.
How long does a C63 stay in service — is this a disposable purchase?
Budget it like infrastructure. It ships on Android 13 with 90-day security updates, and it is built to stay in the aisle: IP67 sealing, 1.5 m drops to concrete across the full operating temperature range, and a thousand half-metre tumbles. The parts that wear are the parts you can replace — the main battery pops out, the grip battery comes off with the grip, and the strap is a consumable. Fleet cost lands on the total, not the sticker, and a device that survives four winters costs less than two that survive two.
What separates this from an unbranded handheld off an online listing?
Substance you can audit. The scan engine is a named Zebra or Honeywell part with traceable provenance, not an unspecified module from an unknown origin. The sealing and drop figures come from a published specification, not a product description. Every batch is inspected before dispatch, evaluation units go out for qualification, and a one-year warranty with engineer-direct support stands behind the fleet. It is priced well below an MC3300ax or a CK65, and it is never cheap in the way that matters.
How fast can we get from unboxing to a working pilot?
Days, not quarters. Android 13 with Google Mobile Services and Android Enterprise Recommended status means your existing Android apps, your browser-based WMS front end and your MDM policies transfer without a rewrite. Barcode output can be delivered straight into the active field via keyboard wedge, so a legacy terminal-emulation screen sees the C63 exactly as it saw the device before it. The CedaGlo SDK is there for deeper work in Java through Android Studio, and our engineers join the pilot call rather than routing you to a ticket queue.
