Standard matrix keyboards, custom membrane keyboards, and other industrial input devices are among the most important user interfaces that enable users to input information into electronic systems through key presses. These inputs rely on a strong underlying technology—such as PCB (Printed Circuit Board) and PCF (Printed Circuit Film)—to ensure durability, responsiveness, and long service life.
From standard matrix keyboard layouts to fully customized membrane keyboards, we offer a wide range of solutions tailored to your product needs. Our PCB-based designs support multi-layer routing, advanced components, and various interface protocols—ensuring high reliability in industrial input devices and mission-critical applications.
A PCB-based keyboard uses a rigid or flexible printed circuit board to house the entire switching mechanism and routing structure. Unlike custom membrane keyboards, PCB-based keyboards provide greater design complexity, longer lifespan, and enhanced electrical performance—making them ideal industrial input devices for demanding environments.
It is built with multiple layers including:
Printed surface with legends branding Enhances user interaction and aesthetics.
Determines tactile feedback, travel distance, and actuation force.
Embedded lighting communication interfaces memory for smart features
Protective structural backing Shields internal components and improves mechanical integrity
PCB keyboards are regarded as hardy and reliable. Although a PCB is stiff, it gives structural stability meaning it will not deform nor flex when used daily, which in turn ensures reliability.
This is so because PCBs allow having complex circuit designs and design circuitry in a specific pattern. They are in a position to manufacture intricate designs that accommodate unique keyboards.
The reason for this is that PCF keys are widely used in mobile computing like laptops, PDAs, and compact digital technologies due to their thinness and ability to fit inside smaller spaces.
