Keypads are vital for modern devices as they serve as input terminals. Examples include television remote controls, air conditioner thermostats, walkie talkies, game controllers, and so on. If you are planning to launch a product that requires push button input, then you should look for a manufacturer of custom silicone keypads that can lend its experience and expertise. Most of them can also help with the moulded plastic parts as well as enclosures.
It may seem like a trivial matter but generating reliable inputs is a serious business. Users can get frustrated if the buttons are too hard to press or too easily damaged. The layout should also be logical and the labels on point so that they don’t get confused. The prints should last despite frequent use and abuse. The feel of the buttons should be fairly consistent across the operating temperature range.
