Keyboards.
Keyboards & plastic boxes offers various keyboards, membrane keyboards without touch sensation, touch sensation membrane keyboards (metal dome and thermo-shaped), backlit membrane keyboards, FPC membrane keyboards, mixed keyboards with PCB base.
01 Frontal keyboards
Polycarbonate or polyester frontal keyboards of different thickness (125, 200, 250, 350, 500 µm). Matt or gloss materials. Thousands of colours and shapes. Mirrored gloss glass printing, translucent colours for excellent digital display reading or liquid crystal display (reinforceable with glass or transparent polycarbonate). Fully watertightIP65 seal.
02 Membrane keyboards
With a fully customised design and various types of keyboards: membrane keyboards without touch sensation, touch sensation membrane keyboards (metal dome) and thermo-shaped touch sensation keyboards. (Any of these may have SMD LEDS inserted.) These allow millions of key strokes and can be supplied with metal or plastic supports.
03 Mixed keyboards with PCB base with different thicknesses
Gold-plated electrical contacts that will allow any type of connector to be inserted, SMD LEDs, screws or various components. We can also manufacture gold-plated FPC keyboards and insert LEDs or SMD components.
04 Silicone keyboards
Resistant and non-resistant silicone keyboards: Any shape and size, soft or rigid surfaces, carbon contact or gold metallic, glass printing guaranteeing resistance, backlit silicone keyboards.
