Application

Pressed by everyone.

EV chargers, ticket machines, kiosks and access points are used by anyone, in any weather, without instructions. The button has to be obvious, robust and impossible to fool.

What goes wrong today

And what the HABI Button changes.

TodayWith the HABI Button
Rain on the screen

Water on a touch surface causes false inputs, or blocks the real ones.

Water alone does nothing

Rain only shows on the capacitive channel. It takes a real press to act.

Unsure users

If nothing happens on the first press, people press harder, press again or walk away.

Feedback anyone understands

Light, a click and a tone show the press was taken, in any language.

Wear and abuse

Outdoor mechanical buttons wear, stick and invite vandalism.

Flush and sealed

A flush, sealed front with nothing to pry at.

Where it goes
