MEMBRANE KEYPADS PRICE & DEVELOPMENT COST
How much does it cost to make a membrane keypad design?
The design of the drawing, the number of keys, the number of pieces required, the overall size in square centimeters, and other minor factors determine the cost of a custom-made membrane keypad. Development costs are classified into 3 categories: A-B-C. In the following section, you will find the development costs and the price per square centimeter for each class. The prices refer to keyboards with flexible support and flexible flat cable with a 2.54 mm pitch connector. Special keypad versions need complex evaluation. In order to manufacture a professional product, high-quality drawings must be provided to us. Alternatively, we offer industrial design services at reasonable prices.
