Customized Backlit Silicone Rubber Keypad keyboard

The Backlit Keypad, also known as a backlit keyboard, optimally utilizes the unique characteristics of keypad materials in combination with LED technology to create high-quality backlight-effect switch products. Constructed from silicone rubber, plastic, metal, and other materials, this innovation is commonly referred to as the silicone rubber backlit keypad. Backlit Keypads primarily leverage translucent or transparent silicone materials. Some silicone backlit keypads incorporate techniques such as laser etching, screen printing, spray coating, and PU coating to enhance backlight effects, ensuring a visually striking and efficient user experience.

The following are two types of silicone rubber backlit keypads

• Laser Etched Backlit Keypad: The Laser Etched Backlit Keypad involves meticulous steps, including color spray coating on silicone keypads and laser etching for backlighting effects. Following engraving, most keypads need PU coating or matte smooth processing for layer and legend protection. Quality and costs depend on precise color spraying and PU coating. Thin sprays risk light leakage, while thick coatings affect keypad size, hindering assembly. PU-coated keypads can’t be reworked, elevating costs.
• Translucent Silicone Backlit Keypad: The Translucent Silicone Backlit Keypad capitalizes on the inherent transparency of silicone materials. Different silicone types exhibit varying degrees of transparency, with higher-quality silicone boasting superior translucency. Liquid silicone’s original color is nearly transparent, providing an ideal base for achieving vibrant backlighting effects.
