Editing Membrane keyboard (section)

== Usage ==
Aside from early hobbyist/kit/home computers and some [[video game console]]s, membrane-based [[QWERTY]] keyboards are used in some industrial computer systems,<ref name=":1" /> and are also found as portable, even "rollable-collapsible" designs for [[Personal Digital Assistant|PDA]]s and other pocket computing devices. Smaller, specialized membrane keyboards, typically numeric-and-a-few-control-keys only, have been used in access control systems (for buildings and restricted areas), simple handheld calculators, domestic [[remote control]] keypads, microwave ovens, and other similar devices where the amount of typing is relatively small or infrequent, such as cell phones.{{Citation needed|date=August 2024}}

Modern PC keyboards are essentially a membrane keyboard mechanism covered with an array of [[Keyboard_technology#Rubber dome over membrane|dome switch]]es which give positive tactile feedback.
