As the membrane switch market continues to expand, there have been many advances in technology including:
Touch Pads (or Key Pads) – The tactile response to the end user is the “feeling” felt upon touching the interactive component of the membrane switch. The tactile response can be designed in varying degrees: very little (or none) to extremely heavy and easily felt.

Graphic Overlays – Graphic Overlays can be placed over flex circuits, rigid boards or membrane switches. The overlays provide the user interface with the underlying circuit and typically are used in conjunction with LEDs, LCD displays or dome switches mounted on thie circuits. The overlays are made from polycarbonate, polyester or acrylic |
