The top (graphic) layer of membrane keypads are screen-printed; therefore the selection of colors and layout design of the keypad is virtually limitless. Keys may be flat or embossed, with or without tactile feedback. Tooling and screens are relatively inexpensive. An excellent choice for applications that need to stand up to a harsh environment.
Features
- Tactile feedback with poly domes or metal domes
- Durable overlays
- Reduced first article sample lead-time
- LED backlighting (option) embedded in membrane circuit
- Windows and lenses easily incorporated with overlay
Rubber Keypads
Silicone Rubber Keypads, are a traditional key-switch alternative that can offer many advantages. They are relatively inexpensive, easy to tool and custom design, they are very reliable and offer excellent tactile feel. Esthetically, rubber keypads can be as varied as the designer’s imagination and is an excellent choice to enhance the appearance of the end product’s design.
Capabilities

- Metal and Mylar Domes
- Polyurethane Coat
Touchscreens
Laube Technology is a leading supplier of Analog (resistive), Capacitive, and Matrix Touch Screens.
- Analog Touch Screens are adaptable to nearly any application, including automation, instrumentation, food processing, handheld computing, POS, and many others.
- Capacitive touchscreens are those that respond to the electrical properties of the human body. This means that they can be controlled by a light touch, and don’t require the user to exert heavy pressure on the screen. The Apple iPhone is the most popular example of a capacitive touchscreen-based device.
- Matrix touch screens are perfect for any application requiring fixed button size, do not require an external controller, and feature patterning capable of accommodating any button size.
