Silicone Key Accessories and Input Device Parts
Replacement and build-to-print silicone key parts for teams who need the soft components of an input device sourced separately from the housing.
Accessories covers the silicone key parts KEYU moulds alongside its metal input devices. Silicone keys offer heat resistance, cold resistance, environmental resistance, electrical insulation and fatigue resistance, which is why they appear in computers, remote controls, telephones, cordless phones, keyboards, learning machines, password keys and digital products. Colours and separate colour areas are set per order rather than fixed to a catalogue.
Problems This Range Solves
- A discontinued key part strands an otherwise working assembly and the original supplier no longer tools it.
- Rubber parts sourced from a generic moulder crack or go brittle once the enclosure runs hot or cold.
- Multi colour legends on a single pad usually mean a second supplier and a second tooling bill.
- Keys close to live circuitry need an insulating material rather than a conductive one.
Who Specifies It
- Product engineers respecifying the soft parts of an existing handset or remote.
- Service and spares teams keeping installed equipment repairable.
- Design houses prototyping a button set before committing to a full enclosure.
- OEM buyers consolidating silicone and metal input parts with one factory.
Where It Is Installed
- Password key pads on consumer terminals where the legend must stay readable.
- Computer keyboard key sets that need a softer actuation than metal.
- Remote control button mats for handheld products.
- Telephone and cordless telephone keypads.
- Digital product buttons where the part sits close to the PCB.
What You Get From This Range
- Silicone formulation carries heat, cold and environmental resistance in the same part.
- Electrical insulation suits keys mounted directly over a populated board.
- Fatigue resistance keeps feel consistent across repeated actuation.
- Different colours and different colour areas are available on one part.
- Moulding sits inside KEYU's own factory rather than with a subcontractor.
What To Specify When You Order
Give us these and the quotation comes back complete rather than with questions attached.
- Send the existing part or a 2D drawing so the cavity can be matched to your housing.
- State every colour required and which zones of the pad each colour covers.
- Confirm the temperature band the part will see in service so the compound suits it.
- Say whether the keys mount over a membrane, a dome or a discrete switch.

Accessories Questions Buyers Ask
What material are these key accessories made from
Silicone, chosen for its heat resistance, cold resistance, environmental resistance, electrical insulation and fatigue resistance.
Can one key pad carry more than one colour
Yes. Different colours and different colour areas can be specified on the same silicone part.
Which products typically use these parts
Computers, remote controls, telephones, cordless telephones, computer keyboards, learning machines, password keys and digital products.
Are the keys electrically insulating
Yes. Electrical insulation is one of the listed characteristics of the silicone used.
Can KEYU work to our drawing
Yes. KEYU offers OEM and ODM service from its own factory in Shenzhen.
