best method to restore conductive keypads?
Psi:
Sometimes the carbon coating is very thin on top of black rubber.
It gets worn off completely and no amount of cleaning will get it to work, obviously.
coppercone2:
ah, I thought it was a poured layer. Like why would you have 2 things to pour instead of one if you are gonna paint it? I guess unless they need different softness materials to get the right feel. Like a brace

A while back I tried to remove the conductive layer from the underside of the buttons on a keypad using Dremel with a rounded burr.
The burr didn't seem to remove any material, but I found that low resistance was restored.
coppercone2:
you mean like sand paper or like a carbide burr?

Tungsten carbide Burr like this one, https://www.hobbytools.com.au/dremel-max-life-9903hp-1-8-3.2mm-tungsten-carbide
My original intention was to remove the black conductive layer to see if an adhesive would work better at sticking on some aluminum foil.
