Membrane keyboards

(with embossing and metal dome)

A membrane keyboard with embossing and a metal dome is a product that operates on a similar principle to mechanical keyboards. This means that pressing a key results in mechanical contact between the metal dome and the printed circuit layer that triggers the flow of electricity and activate the function of specific key. The keyboard is electrically connected to the device using a strip with a connector. Membrane keyboards manufactured by QWERTY are an excellent choice for individuals who appreciate precise and long-lasting products with quality craftsmanship.

Characteristics of membrane keyboards

Membrane keyboards with embossing and a metal dome are primarily distinguished by their tactile feedback. When we press on the keys, we can feel the keyboard feedback, confirming that the keys have been pressed. It is also worth noting that pressing a key does not generate unnecessary noise, which greatly enhances the usability and functionality of membrane keyboards.

Another notable feature of membrane keyboards is the absence of gaps between keys. This prevents the accumulation of dirt and makes the product easy to clean and disinfect.

Membrane keyboards can be made from various materials, including ones that are resistant to corrosion, mechanical damage, or chemicals. During the design phase, individual customer requirements can be considered. For example, special seals can be added to make the keyboard resistant to moisture and prevent liquids from entering. Personalizing the keyboard design can also include the layout of the keys, which will be designed to be ergonomic and user-friendly.

Depending on the consumer’s needs and expectations, membrane keyboards can be equipped with various innovative solutions. This includes extended functions, interfaces, extra buttons, markings, indicator lights, color-changing LEDs under the keys, knobs or integrated displays, enabling advanced and precise monitoring of selected processes.

Application of membrane keyboards

Embossed and metal dome membrane keyboards are products that, thanks to their functionality, can be used in many sectors such as:

Industry – membrane keyboards are widely used in industry due to their durability, strength, resistance to damage, chemicals and moisture. The wide industrial use of this type of keyboard is also influenced by the ability to design an ergonomic key layout and the opportunity to introduce various innovations, such as antibacterial coatings, knobs LEDs or integrated displays;

Medicine – the unique nature of membrane keyboards allows them to be used in medicine as well. This is mainly because they are easy to clean and disinfect, durable, operate quietly, and have an ergonomic key arrangement. Membrane keyboards can also be equipped with innovative solutions that are important in medical applications, such as glass fronts with touch panels, integrated capacitive keys or knobs, appropriate lighting and warning signals and special coatings that prevent the development and spread of bacteria on the keyboard surface;

Sports equipment – membrane keyboards can also be used in exercise equipment that requires control such as treadmills, ergometers, or stationary bikes. The keyboards installed in them enable the adjustment of parameters such as pace, tilt, resistance level, and so on.

Self-service devices – The characteristics of membrane keyboards make them suitable for use in self-service devices such as ATMs, ticket machines, information kiosks, or devices used for conducting exams such as driving license exams.

Everyday electronics – membrane keyboards can also be used in devices such as remote controls, intercoms, electronic toys and household appliances.
