Overview
The Illuminated Keypad, commonly referred to as a backlit keyboard, seamlessly integrates keypad materials with cutting-edge LED technology to create high-performance backlight-effect switches. Constructed from premium materials like silicone rubber, plastic, metal, and others, this innovation is widely recognized as the silicone rubber backlit keypad. Translucent or transparent silicone materials are predominantly used in these Backlit Keypads. Certain silicone backlit keypads employ advanced techniques such as laser etching, screen printing, spray coating, and PU coating to enhance backlight effects, ensuring a visually captivating and exceptionally efficient user experience.

The following are two types of silicone rubber backlit keypads
Laser Etched Backlit Keypad: This keypad type involves precise procedures, including color spray coating on silicone keypads and laser etching to create backlighting effects. After engraving, most keypads require PU coating or matte smooth processing to protect layers and legends. The quality and costs are contingent on accurate color spraying and PU coating. Thin sprays risk light leakage, while thick coatings can impact keypad size, complicating assembly. Additionally, PU-coated keypads cannot be reworked, leading to increased expenses.
Translucent Silicone Backlit Keypad: This type leverages the inherent transparency of silicone materials. Various silicone types exhibit different levels of translucency, with higher-quality silicone displaying superior transparency. Liquid silicone’s natural color is almost transparent, serving as an ideal foundation for achieving vibrant backlighting effects.
