Custom OEM Keyboards & Keypads

Your design, our manufacturing path

Off-the-shelf does not fit every machine. OEMs building panel PCs, hazardous-area terminals, medical carts, marine consoles, and rugged handhelds often need an input device that fits the enclosure and survives the field conditions.

Korrik helps specify and source custom keyboards, keypads, trackball modules, and HMI input panels. The work starts with your drawing, target environment, key layout, connector, mounting method, certification target, and annual volume.

What we can customize

• Construction: membrane, silicone rubber, stainless steel, or hybrid stack-ups.
• Layout: key count, legends, function keys, hot keys, and numeric areas.
• Pointing: integrated trackball, touchpad, force pointer, joystick, or related pointing options when the build supports them.
• Sealing: IP and NEMA targets reviewed by construction and evidence path.
• Backlighting: LED, light-guide film, or related low-light options when available for the build.
• Branding: logo, legends, colors, and private-label requirements.
• Interface and mounting: common USB, panel-mount, desktop, VESA, and custom bezel paths, with other interfaces reviewed by project.
• Certification support: hazardous-area, EMC, ingress, and material documentation paths reviewed per project.

Membrane and silicone construction

A typical membrane stack-up includes a graphic overlay, spacer, dome or non-tactile switch layer, printed circuit, optional backlight layer, EMI or ESD shielding, seal, and connector tail. It suits slim panels, wipe-down fascias, instrumentation, and medical or industrial control surfaces.

A silicone rubber keypad uses a molded elastomer keymat with raised keys, tuned actuation force, conductive contacts, optional coating, and a PCB interface. It suits glove use, outdoor controls, rugged handhelds, and high-touch equipment where operators need clear tactile feedback.

OEM process

1. Brief: send drawings, enclosure details, target environment, certification target, and volume.
2. Spec and quote: Korrik returns a build path, material options, quantity assumptions, and lead-time status for review.
3. Sample: prototype or evaluation-unit availability is confirmed per program.
4. Documentation: datasheets, material notes, test reports, and certification evidence are tracked per model or custom build when available.
5. Production: approved builds move into repeat supply with support for revisions and incoming inspection.

Why OEMs use Korrik

• One accountable supplier for keyboards, keypads, pointing devices, and custom HMI modules.
• Lower-friction sourcing than managing a separate supplier for each construction type.
• English-language engineering coordination and consolidated shipping.
• Documentation discipline for procurement and compliance review.
• Payment terms reviewed by account and project.

FAQ

What is the MOQ for custom keypads?

MOQ depends on whether the project modifies a standard unit, uses membrane tooling, uses silicone tooling, or needs a full-custom build. Send target annual volume and the team will quote the correct path.

Can Korrik match an existing keyboard or keypad?

Yes. Send the unit, drawing, overlay artwork, key layout, connector, mounting cutout, and environment. Korrik will turn that into a buildable specification and quote path.

Can custom builds support ATEX or IECEx requirements?

Custom hazardous-area certification scope must be reviewed against the exact model, protection concept, marking, and certificate documents before any public claim is made.
