Membrane switch in Game PlayStation
A membrane switch, also referred to as a membrane keypad or membrane keypad switch, is a keypad type that employs a flexible membrane to regulate the flow of electricity. These keypads serve as interfaces for user equipment and tool devices, facilitating the transmission of commands between the user and the electronic device in use. Typically, a membrane switch comprises multiple layers, including a visible top overlay that users interact with, a spacer layer, and a circuit layer. The circuit layer contains the electrical contacts essential for the switch’s functionality. When the user presses on the top overlay, it transmits pressure on the circuit layer, completing the electrical circuit and triggering the switch.

Why Choose Digital Printing Membrane Switches?
Digital printing membrane switch is a type of product that enable to using AI files to convert digital devices to print product patterns, this way is just like when we print a document using a printer. Compared to traditional screen printing overlays, the biggest benefit that we can get from this method is that it can print gradually changing color using the CYMK colors. Gradient colors always give the product a sense of premium, makes it more beautiful.
In additional, when produce the mass production, digital printing method has some price advantages, and it more cost-effective than screen printing way.
