Can you replace membrane switches with mechanical? #membranepanel #membranekeypad #membraneswitch

Membrane switches can be replaced with mechanical switches, but there are several considerations to keep in mind: Size and Form Factor: Mechanical switches tend to be larger and require more space compared to membrane keypad switches. If the device or application has constraints on size or requires a low-profile design, mechanical switches might not be suitable without redesigning the housing or layout. Durability: Membrane switches are known for their durability and resistance to environmental factors like dust and moisture. Mechanical switches vary in durability depending on the type (e.g., tactile, clicky, linear). Some mechanical switches can offer comparable durability, but it depends on the specific switch chosen. Tactile Feedback: Membrane switches can be designed to provide different types of tactile feedback, from simple tactile bumps to more complex feedback. Mechanical switches are known for their distinct tactile feel and audible click (in clicky switches). The tactile feel of mechanical
