Handheld GPS

A rugged keypad for a handheld communications device whose apparent simplicity hides the complexity underneath. The multi-color silicone rubber keypad has both polyurethane and epoxy coating, and graphics on the base of the keypad as well as the keytops. Metal domes provide positive tactile feedback to the very small keys, and unseen is an embedded microphone on the PCB below. Multiple versions of this keypad were made.
