The
Sharp EL-8153 combines a basic four-banger calculator with a sleek design and a
modern membrane keyboard. The keyboard is made of a sandwich of a printed circuit
board (PCB), a thin foil as spacer and metal traces. Touching one of the
membrane keys pushes a metal trace against the PCB and creates a conductive
connection.
