| Keypad replacement |
| (1/1) |
| PlainName:
Got a keypad (mentioned elsewhere) with domed buttons. An official replacement is both unobtanium and expensive, so I am looking at a DIY solution. What I have in mind is a flex PCB, which JLCPCB would do for next to nothing (unless I add a stiffener, and then it gets uncheap. But what about the buttons? Perhaps a tactile switch would suit, but there are so many it is hard to know what to look for or which might be appropriate. Any suggestions? |

Your holiness, Replacement cross-shaped domed switches are available on aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004544751246.html :-) K. |

Thanks, but the switches themselves are fine - it's the tracking that is borked. With a replacement tracking layer, I'm not sure those switches are the right solution (specifically, difficulty in mounting on a flex PCB). |
