Abstract

See full text

Example implementations relate to thermally fused spacers. In one example, keyboard membranes including thermally fused spacers include a first circuit including a first conductive trace and a first key contact of the keyboard membrane, where the first conductive trace is coupled to the first key contact, a second circuit including a second conductive trace and a second key contact of the keyboard membrane, where the second conductive trace is coupled to the second key contact, and wherein the second key contact is to couple to the first key contact, and a spacer formed of a layer of thermoplastic material, a first thermoplastic film, and a second thermoplastic film, where the spacer is fused via the first thermoplastic film to the first circuit and via the second thermoplastic film to the second circuit.
