Keithley DMM7510 Rubber Brick
jjoonathan:
I hope this doesn't catch on. I was repairing a DMM7510 with stuck buttons (in the sense of "they don't register presses without extreme pressure") and discovered that the front panel construction didn't have a removable, washable blister pad. Instead it had a "rubber brick" glued to a circuit board, which was a major PITA to remove!

Is this a Keithley special or is it a new (terrible) trend that people have seen elsewhere?
Hydron:
Never seen that before!
The DMM6500 (which came out after the 7510) uses normal buttons like everything else does. Still not the best button feel, but good enough and much easier to fix.
jjoonathan:
I'm glad to hear that! It sounds like maybe the experiment didn't pay off and we are safe from iPhone-style assembly processes for a little bit longer :)
HighVoltage:
I have never seen that either.
My two DMM7510 are still working ok but sometimes I notice I have to press a little harder on the buttons.
What was the failure?
Did you just have to clean the pads?
MegaVolt:
Thank you for the video.
I will seriously think whether I need to repair these buttons :(
They are already almost dead.
Maybe I need a remote control...
Terrible design :(
