Traditional keypads are being used in various practical applications, in both home and office, but these types are not designed to withstand extreme conditions and harsh environments. This is why molded silicone rubber keypads emerged as the most practical alternative. Most appliances use electronic devices that are susceptible to damage due to liquid spills. Sealed silicone keypads, on the other hand, may act as a shield and protects these devices from spills, particularly the devices' electronic component.
Custom Silicone keypads are resistant to corrosion, chemical substances and oxidation as well. Due to this, it can prevent the metal and mechanical parts from being destroyed easily and this are one vital thing traditional keypads cannot do. Silicone products are more resistive to wear and tear as well, even if it is subjected to constant use. Aside from that, silicone Rubber Keypads are protected by flexible rubbers to prevent malfunction and becoming sticky.
Another benefit of using custom silicone keypads and Membrane Switches is that it is almost silent. When these keypads are being used, you will not hear any noise and so it will not be a bother to those people around you, particularly when you are working in the office. Aside from that, it is very comforting for your fingers as you do not have to exert too much effort when using it due to its soft touch feature.
The use of custom silicone in keypads may go beyond the applications standard and rational keypads can offer. These applications involve usage under harsh environments. Custom silicone and custom rubber keypads can be used by a product assembly service for a whole bunch of products that will be used for home and commercial purposes. Mobile phone keypads, multimedia equipment, computer keyboards and appliance keypads can make use of these silicone keypads and membrane switches for whatever application it may serve.
