Cost-Effective for Mass Production

The unit price of rubber keypads is relatively low, making them suitable for mass production and providing cost savings for large-scale manufacturing.

Specialized Material Options

Rubber keypads can be made from specific materials to offer properties such as antibacterial, edible, and UV resistance, catering to specialized industry needs.

Excellent Tactile Feedback

Rubber keypads are designed to provide excellent tactile feedback, enhancing user experience and ensuring precise input.

Water and Chemical Resistance

These keypads are resistant to water and chemicals, making them durable for use in humid and outdoor environments.

Backlight Options

With the use of laser carving, custom rubber keypads can incorporate backlighting, allowing buttons or logos to appear transparent and be visible in the dark.

P+R (Plastic + Rubber) Design

Combining plastic and rubber in keypad design can offer a balance of rigidity and flexibility, improving the overall functionality and durability of the keypad.

These advantages make custom rubber keypads a versatile and reliable choice for many applications, from consumer electronics to industrial controls and medical devices.

Precautions for Custom China Rubber Keypads

Snap Ratio

  • Impact: The Snap Ratio significantly affects the tactile feedback and lifespan of the keyboard.
  • Recommendation:  Maintain a Snap Ratio between 40%-60%.
  • Below 40%: Increases lifespan but diminishes tactile feedback (known as “trip” in China).
  • Above 60%: Enhances tactile feedback but may reduce the product’s lifespan.

Shore Hardness

  • Optimal Range:  30A-85A.
  • Below 30A: Higher defect rate and increased production cost.
  • Above 85A: The silicone becomes too hard and is prone to breakage.

Conventional Rubber Keyboard Processing

  • PU or Hand-Feeling Oil: Enhances the durability of the printing on the silicone surface.
  • Epoxy Treatment: Improves the aesthetic appearance of the product.

Additional Options

  • Conductive or Non-Conductive Keypads
  • Multiple Color Options
  • Phosphorescent Additives: For glow-in-the-dark effects.
  • Silkscreen Printed Keys
  • Laser-Etched Keys
  • Hard Coating
  • Epoxy Coating
  • Environmental Shielding Options
  • Printed or Laser-Etched Legends
  • Printed Circuit Board Assembly

By adhering to these precautions and options, you can ensure that your custom rubber keypads meet the desired quality and performance standards.
