Flat 

A flat membrane keyboard is a contact-activated switch with smooth surface. These elements are characterised by the fact that their manufacturing and operation offer great simplicity and reliability.

Relief or Preformation 

Preformation keyboards are keyboards with relief on their surface. This particular feature offers improved aesthetic perception and allows better orientation when typing (for example: blind people, etc.). They can be manufactured in different relief finishes.

Tactile function     .
A metal dome yielding the tactile effect is introduced between the frontal plate and the connecting circuit, so that    
Printed circuit
the keyboard offers a tactile feel which guarantees effective realisation of each function.   The keyboard is incorporated on a ACB board allowing the insertion of integrated-type electronic components which cut down costs and offer the reliability of printed circuits
           SMD LED’s
  and the advantages of traditional membrane keyboards.
. 
Integration of LED’s diodes in this type of membrane keyboards represents a considerable lowering of the set’s final cost. This is due, on the one hand, to our avoiding the PCB plate and, on the other, to the simplicity of  assembly, in addition to the enormous benefit in space, since total thickness of the keyboard with SMD LED’s does not exceed 1,7 mm.
