• Elastomeric: These keypads provides a great look and excellent tactile feel. Epoxy caps make this keypad extremely resistant to wear and suitable for all environments, except where petroleum-based chemicals (oil) are present.
• Membrane: Best used when working in harsh conditions where chemical, dirt and liquids may be present.
• Backlit: LEDs, which can be powered on and off, are positioned behind the keycaps to illuminate them when needed.
• Phosphorescent: These keypads contain a phosphor material that glows after being exposed to light.
