Definition of laser engraved silicone rubber keyboard.

The laser engraved silicone button refers to the rubber button that uses the laser cutting  process. 

The laser engraving rubber keypad, also known as laser engraved silicone button,laser marking button pad.

It is a process of surface treatment using optical principles.

Usually, to spray the specific color on the transparent silicone button (the color of the spraying is determined according to the design ) firstly,

The position of the character would be free of ink, then to achieve light transmitting. Only the characters have backlight effect.

How to identify the laser etched silicone rubber button pad?
