Keyboards: membrane, silicone & elastomer
Our membrane keyboards, silicone keyboards and elastomer keyboards are high quality products, respecting ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 standards, and with almost unlimited design possibilities.
Either it's about the size of the keyboard, the shape of the keys or the colour of the final product, the customization of our keyboards is only limited by the requirements of your specifications and the prototype manufacturing will be a must in the production management.
A wide choice of coating is offered to you, as is the possibility of adding an LED backlight.
Specially designed to resist UV rays, splashes or corrosion, our products are extremely robust with excellent durability in the most demanding environments.

What is a membrane keyboard?
A membrane keyboard is a type of keyboard used in many electronic devices, such as industrial, military, and medical equipment. It typically consists of several thin layers of flexible material, often polyester or polycarbonate, sandwiched on top of each other.
The top layer of the membrane keyboard is usually transparent and has contact areas printed with conductive patterns. When a key is pressed, it presses against the top layer, making contact with the conductive patterns and thus completing an electrical circuit. This action then sends an electrical signal to the device to which the keyboard is connected, allowing it to interpret the corresponding command.
Membrane keyboards offer several advantages, including low manufacturing cost, flat and compact design, resistance to dust and liquids, and increased durability.
100% Customizable
Membrane keyboards offer endless possibilities in terms of design and functionality, making them the ideal solution for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. We offer a complete range: from flat models to tactile dome or metal cup keyboards, thus meeting the specific needs of your projects.
Design and Integration
Our membrane keyboards are designed as modern and durable data entry tools, offering chemical and thermal stability as well as dust and fluid tightness. Most membrane keyboards have an adhesive film on the back, but it is also possible to integrate them into a support, such as a case or remote control, thus offering mounting flexibility.
A wide choice of materials
We offer a wide range of materials for the user interface, including polyester, aluminum, silicone, polycarbonate, sheet steel, PVC and stainless steel. This variety of materials allows for maximum customization in terms of color, shape and size of the keys. In addition, thanks to advanced production and printing processes, such as screen printing, digital printing, laser engraving and paint finishing, we can offer single-color or multi-color keyboards, printed, embossed, painted or engraved.
Tactile properties
The touch sensations and tactile properties of a membrane keyboard are determined by the surface finish and the tactile forces (actuation and reset). For membrane keyboards, we use metal domes or polydomes as switching devices, thus providing high intuitiveness and optimal responsiveness. In addition, we offer different shapes of metal domes with different possible treatments (gold or nickel ), as well as the possibility of mixing keys of different forces and sizes on the same keyboard.
Backlighting and Connectivity
Membrane keyboards can be backlit by LED, EL or fiber optics, providing optimum visibility in all lighting conditions. In addition, we offer different types of ribbon cable outputs, male/female connectors, reinforced sealing levels (IP 65) and increased resistance to extreme conditions, as well as mechanical supports with various choices of surface treatments.
Sustainability and Quality
We pay special attention to the durability of our membrane keyboards. We offer a wide selection of materials and surface finishes that protect your keyboard not only from wear and tear, but also from UV rays, dirt and aggressive fluids. In addition, our keyboards undergo rigorous testing, ensuring long-lasting functionality and a lifespan exceeding one million operating cycles. Finally, our products comply with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, IATF 16949 and ISO 13485 standards, ensuring compliance with the strictest quality and safety standards.
