Application
The press is part of the product.
In coffee machines, kitchen appliances and other premium products, the button is the part the customer touches every day. How it feels, looks and responds says as much about the product as the design around it.

What goes wrong today
And what the HABI Button changes.
TodayWith the HABI Button
Buttons that feel cheap
A wobbly or mushy button undermines an otherwise premium product.
A feel you design
Haptic strength and pattern are set in software to match your brand.
Touch fields that misfire
Steam, water and cleaning set off capacitive touch fields.
Only real presses count
Steam and water show on one channel only, so they are ignored.
One colour fits all
Fixed indicator LEDs limit what the product can tell the user.
Any colour, any behaviour
RGB light for brand colour, status and progress.
