FAQ
What can be customized for silicone keypads?
We support full customization for silicone keypads, including button layout, size, colors, printed or laser characters, conductive pill specifications, hardness, adhesive backing, and mounting holes, and we can also create molds based on your drawings or samples.
What is the MOQ for custom silicone keypads? How long are sampling and production times?
The normal MOQ is 500–1000 pcs.
Sample time is 3–7 days.
Mass production usually takes 7–15 days depending on quantity and complexity.
Rush orders are also supported.
Will the button characters wear off? What printing methods are available?
We support：silk printing、laser engraving、spray coating + laser engraving
Spray coating + laser engraving is the most durable，The characters will not fade even after millions of presses.
UV protective coating is also available.
What waterproof and dustproof level can silicone keypads reach?
We can customize IP65 or IP67 waterproof and dustproof structures.
Suitable for industrial devices, outdoor equipment, POS machines, and dusty or humid environments.
Can the button feel and elasticity be adjusted?
We can adjust:
silicone hardness (40–70 Shore A)
button travel
conductive pill height
This ensures good tactile feedback and stable rebound without sticking or collapsing.
What files are needed for customization?
Customers can provide 2D/3D drawings in formats like PDF, DXF, or STEP, or physical samples, and drawings should include key dimensions, button travel, hole size, conductive pill details, and mounting method.
How is the electrical performance of conductive silicone keypads?
Conductive resistance can be controlled between 10–100Ω.
Insulation resistance is ≥10^8Ω.
The keypads can pass 1 million press life tests for stable long-term use.
How do you ensure the silicone keypad fits the customer’s device?
We first make prototype samples for size and function confirmation，After customer approval, we make the production mold.
Before mass production, fitting tests are done again to ensure perfect matching with the panel and PCB.
Can the silicone keypad color be customized by Pantone color?
Yes，We support Pantone colors, customer color cards, or physical color matching.
Color differences are controlled within industry standards, with stable color consistency for each batch.
