Cheap-ish Membrane keypad prototypes?

D

David L. Jones

Anyone know who can do cheap(ish) custom prototype membrane keypads?
i.e. 1-off prototypes.
This is my own money, so $$ count :->

Thanks
Dave.

They ran an ad in Circuit Cellar a while back.
(5) 4-switch custom membranes / keyboards for $395.

FYI, it is also possible to use a simple plastic membrane and have
separate PCB mounted "tactile" switches behind it.

Hello Dave,

I have used the Farnell "generic" membrane keypads in the past to do a
working mock-up for customer prototypes.
Not too expensive and you can "slip-in" you own labels for button
identification.

They'll most likely last longer too.

Yep, already got that in place, just seeing what options there are for
a full membrane.

Thanks
Dave.
