What are silicone rubber keypads
Silicone rubber keypads are used as control panels in all types of equipment and machinery. They provide excellent safety in operation, with distinct 3D shapes to ensure high tactile responsiveness.
Benefits of silicone rubber keypads
Although membrane switches have been around for many years, they have proven to be very versatile and easily adaptable to new technology. As a membrane switch and keypad manufacturer, Quad Industries offers a wide range of modern features. This includes wireless connection via printed NFC, BLE or WiFi antennas, seamless integration of capacitive touch sensing and visual feedback for users through the integration of LEDs and or electroluminescence.
Flexibility in design
Silicone rubber keypads offer designers an almost infinite range of options. With silicone rubber, you can create a custom design that perfectly fits your product’s specifications and needs. Whether it’s surface treatments, 3D shapes, or even backlighting—silicone rubber gives you the freedom to customize your control panel without sacrificing quality or durability.
Safety in operation
The shape of silicone rubber keypads is designed for maximum tactility, helping end-users find the controls they need with ease and precision—even when operating with gloves or without direct eye contact. This ensures safe operation of your product which is essential for any user experience.
Long life cycle and durability
Silicone rubber keypads provide a long life cycle and can withstand tough environmental exposure. The silicone rubber material is surface treated for added protection against dust, dirt, and other elements.
Integration of LEDs
The silicone rubber material is also ideal for integrated LEDs, providing smooth and uniform
dispersion of light. This makes silicone rubber keypads perfect for control panels that are operated in the dark. Also, individual keys can be backlighted.
Brand recognition and communication
Adding color to silicone rubber keypads reinforces your brand recognition and helps ensure clear and safe communication. Colors help end-users intuitively control and operate your product, providing excellent results when printed on silicone rubber.
