So i have to design a small keypad ( just numbers and a few other keys). And i have a few switch options. There are :

cherry MX type switches that are from normal keyboards with like 10-50M cycles 1.

more generic switches with about 0.1-1M cycles but smaller in size 1.

rubber membrane keys + PCB contacts.

With 1 & @ i know how to deal with but 3) was proposed and i have no idea how it stacks up vs the other options.

The expected order amount is like 1-2k so i am not even sure if it is worth designing a custom one.

Did anyone here ever work with custom rubber keypads? How much do they even cost to make and is it work for my design volume?
