Today, salesmen and women are cramming a new product in your face at every turn you take. Everyone is in a rush to look modern, cutting-edge, and innovative, but what if we told you, upgrading to touch-screen technology might not be an upgrade at all. Before you find yourself with broken products and irate customers, take a moment to ask yourself if a touch screen is right for you. Perhaps there’s a more cost-effective, reliable, or tailor-made option. Good news: Rubber keypads embrace all three: pricing, reliability, and customization.

Reliability

Whether you’re a nurse going from room to room, an employee entering your office, or a smartphone user sending a text, you’ve probably experienced the hassle of functioning a touch screen: a delayed response, a mistype, an error message, or perhaps even no response! These problems usually occur due to a disruption in electrical charge.? This electrical current can be disrupted by water, fabric, gloves, ambient light, electromagnetic interference, radio frequency interference, wear and tear…just about anything, it seems! A solution to this has been a resistive touch screen that consists of a film screen covered by a glass panel, but this leads to more potential for lack of responsiveness and lower image quality. Unfortunately, in the touch-screen world, you choose between function or resilience. While, in the realm of rubber keypads, there has been an increase in both simultaneously!

Pricing

The best example of touch-screen expansion is the increasing use of kiosks, but according to CostOwl, your average informational kiosks range in price from $3,000 to $10,000. That includes standard software, and doesn’t include customizations you may need. Depending on the level of customization, the price can rise up to even double the price, near $20,000! Then, you may also need to pay licensing fees of up to $500 per kiosk. All this, while rubber keypad products are typically available at costs exponentially more affordable.
