Silicone rubber keypads are the perfect choice for a wide range of custom and customized designs. With excellent operating temperatures ranging from -40℃ to +250℃, they offer superior durability and a high level of ability to withstand extreme environments. This makes them ideal for a variety of industrial, commercial, and household applications. In addition, they can be customized with optional backlight for added visibility, making them even more versatile. Made from quality silicone rubber, these keypads are designed to last and can be customized to fit whatever design you need.

What are Some Design Considerations for Rubber Keypads?
- Tactile Response: Varying the tactile response is accomplished by a number of factors such as changing the web geometry and the durometer of the silicone rubber. Durometer can range from 30 – 90 shore A. Many key shape sizes can be designed, and the keypad travel can be as much as 3mm. Actuation force can be as high as 500 grams with certain keypad shapes and sizes.
- Snap Ratio: Altering the snap ratio of the keypad will also affect the tactile feedback of your rubber keypad. Snap ratios of 40% – 60% are recommended for the optimum combination of feel and maximizing the keypad life. Once the snap ratio goes below 40%, the keypad snap-action feel is diminished, although the life of the switch is enhanced.
- Flow Molding: A process by which custom colors are introduced into the compression process so that the colors are molded into the actual silicone rubber. Further customization can be achieved by screen printing custom graphics onto the top surface of the keypads.
- Laser Etching: The process of removing the top coat layer of a painted keypad (usually black in color) to reveal lighter colored layer below (usually white). This way the back lighting only shines through the areas that have been etched away. By combining laser etching with fiber optic, LED, or EL back lighting, there is no limit to the range of creative back lighting effects you can achieve.
