Color silicone keypads offer customers the option of selecting a double-color design to enhance aesthetic appeal. While this choice may require additional production time and an extra mold tool, it results in a visually striking keypad. The dual durometer keypads feature a hard durometer silicone rubber molded top, providing a plastic-like feel without the associated costs of plastic molds. This design combines durability with a sleek appearance, meeting the demands of discerning customers for both functionality and aesthetics.
