Overview
The Elastomer Laser Etching Keypad, also known as a laser-etched keyboard, rubber laser-etched buttons, silicone laser-etched switches, or laser-etched button pads, features a surface coated with vibrant ink through spraying or screen printing. The keypad’s legends or backgrounds are created using laser etching to allow for LED backlighting. These custom elastomer silicone rubber keypads are made from translucent silicone material and come in a range of colors.

Surface Treatments for Keypad:
- Silk Screen Printing: This method applies a durable ink layer to the surface, ideal for creating high-contrast legends and intricate designs.
- Laser Etching: Utilizes a laser to engrave designs onto the keypad, offering precision and permanence for long-lasting markings.
- Epoxy Coating: Provides a clear, protective layer over the keypad’s surface, enhancing durability and resistance to wear and tear.
- PU Coating: A polyurethane coating that offers protection against scratches and abrasion while maintaining a smooth finish.
- UV Coating: Cures under ultraviolet light to create a robust, protective layer that resists fading and enhances durability.
- Matte Finish: Applies a non-glossy surface treatment to reduce glare and provide a soft, textured feel.
- Glossy Finish: Creates a high-shine, reflective surface that enhances the visual appeal and makes the keypad easy to clean.
- Textured Coating: Adds a tactile texture to the keypad, improving grip and usability, especially in high-touch areas.
- Color Coating: Involves applying various colored coatings to achieve vibrant hues and custom color matching.
The Production Process of Conductive Keypad:
Design: Create a detailed design considering form, key layout, and structure.
Material Preparation: Gather conductive materials like silicone rubber, carbon powder, metals, and backing material.
Conductive Layer Formation: Develop the conductive layer using silicone rubber mixed with carbon powder or metal mesh.
Printing: Use advanced printing methods to apply key patterns and symbols onto the conductive layer accurately.
Assembly: Integrate the conductive layer with the backing material, ensuring precise alignment.
Curing: Subject the keypad to controlled curing to enhance adhesion.
Quality Testing: Thoroughly test sensitivity, electrical conductivity, and aesthetics.
Packaging: Securely package the keypads to protect against damage during transportation.
