Product Overview
Colorful membrane switch keypads can group functions visually within an equipment interface. The chosen colors should be assessed with the legends, key spacing and surrounding panel so each control remains identifiable in the normal operating position.
Develop the silicone button layout and switch arrangement together. Check the finished sample under the lighting expected for the product, including whether similar colors remain distinguishable at the intended viewing distance. Color should support the interface rather than being the only feature that identifies a critical function.
Evaluate physical operation after the enclosure is assembled. Neighboring keys should remain clear of one another, and each moving section should return without catching the bezel. Electrical characteristics belong to the complete switch design. During service, keep replacement color layouts and molded geometry tied to the correct configuration. Inspect fading, worn markings and damaged key edges together so the interface remains understandable as well as mechanically operable through its intended maintenance period.
- Material options
- Silicone. Custom formulation and color for the intended contact conditions.
- Hardness selection
- Silicone: 20–80 Shore A. Neighboring keys should remain clear of one another, and each moving section should return without catching the bezel.
- Custom dimensions
- The chosen colors should be assessed with the legends, key spacing and surrounding panel so each control remains identifiable in the normal operating position.
- Fit & assembly
- Check the finished sample under the lighting expected for the product, including whether similar colors remain distinguishable at the intended viewing distance.
- Use & inspection
- Inspect fading, worn markings and damaged key edges together so the interface remains understandable as well as mechanically operable through its intended maintenance period.
Photos illustrate structure or material only. Color should support the interface rather than being the only feature that identifies a critical function. ETOL directly manufactures custom-shaped silicone and rubber parts to your requirements.

Ordering this custom component
Can the shape be adjusted to my mating parts?
Yes. Show the receiving opening, contact surfaces and clearance limits. We can review the dimensions and retaining features around the intended fit.
Which details should be agreed before tooling?
Agree the critical dimensions, material, hardness, visible surfaces and sample requirements. Explain how the part is installed and which interfaces control its function.
Can a sample help define the replacement?
A sample can help explain the structure. Compare it with the assembly because wear, swelling or compression may have changed its original dimensions.
How is the quotation for this part determined?
The material, part geometry, tooling, quantity and finishing affect the quotation. Include the intended batch size and delivery destination when describing your requirements.
