Thin keypad assemblies and components for electronics devices and methods

A keypad, comprising:

• a plurality of user interface key caps flexibly coupled to a carrier, the plurality of user interface key caps and the carrier constitute a unitary member,
• the plurality of user interface key caps defined by and located between nested slots formed through the unitary member,
• the nested slots devoid of a material from which the plurality of user interface key caps and the carrier are formed;
• a resilient material bridging the slots between the plurality of user interface key caps,
• the resilient material different than the material from which the plurality of user interface key caps and the carrier are formed.

A keypad, comprising:

• a plurality of user interface key caps flexibly coupled to a carrier,
• the plurality of user interface key caps defined by voids formed in the unitary member, the voids devoid of a material from which the plurality of user interface key caps and the carrier are formed;
• a flexible web bridging the voids between the plurality of user interface key caps,
• the plurality of user interface key caps, the carrier and the flexible web constitute a unitary member.
