Custom keypads silicone rubber push button

Custom keypads let an electronic interface follow the device's own control layout. A change in key spacing, function grouping or enclosure shape can be reflected in the molded rubber rather than accommodated by an ill-fitting standard part. The visible redesign still needs to remain coordinated with the board contacts beneath it.

When revising an existing control panel, identify which key positions are fixed by the electronics and which may change. Check the available internal height before increasing key travel or adding a taller top. The surrounding web and locating features should be reviewed whenever the arrangement changes, even if the overall outside dimensions stay the same.

ETOL can customize the structure, material, color and hardness, with conductive or non-conductive versions appropriate to the chosen switching system. Evaluate the revised layout in its intended housing and confirm that the legends continue to match the programmed functions.

During assembly trials, compare access to closely spaced keys and inspect the edges near the perimeter. A revised key should not become trapped when the enclosure is secured. Keep the approved artwork and mechanical revision together so a later replacement does not mix the old function labels with the new physical arrangement.

Material options

Silicone. Custom formulation and color for the intended contact conditions.

Hardness selection

Silicone: 20–80 Shore A. Check the available internal height before increasing key travel or adding a taller top.

Custom dimensions

The surrounding web and locating features should be reviewed whenever the arrangement changes, even if the overall outside dimensions stay the same.

Fit & assembly

During assembly trials, compare access to closely spaced keys and inspect the edges near the perimeter.

Use & inspection

Keep the approved artwork and mechanical revision together so a later replacement does not mix the old function labels with the new physical arrangement.
