I know it costs money $$$$$ to re-develop a new keypad but I don't think Cytech can afford not to. I have lost 7 Comfort sales so far this year all due to the look of the KP-04. (I have had to install other products!!)

If these numbers are similar with all the others installers in the world, that's allot of lost sales for Cytech!!
This issue should be their number 1 concern.


A new key pad would be the best business decision they could make, actually for all of us!!

My 2 cents........:?

Regards,

Scott

Many people have misunderstood what this is about. I have never said that we will not develop a new keypad. However that takes time as well as $$$$ and we need to ensure we get it right.

This is a facelift to the existing keypads which may make them more acceptable tp many but not all

It does not mean we do the facelift and not a full redesign later. We will make a new keypad

I know this is an old thread but just been reading it and thought I\'d add my comments on the \'refresh\' of the existing keypad.

I think adding any form of logo etc (e.g. the C or Comfort logo) on the keypads is a VERY bad idea - just clutters the design and makes it look even cheaper - I certainly don\'t want logo\'s on stuff I display on my walls if I can help it.

I also agree that the images posted of the silver/white keypads make it look like a mass produced toy! The button graphics colour is also way off - far too bright.

Thanks for the feedback Paul
However we have had other comments before that the space on the top right was incomplete and needed something there.
This is not an obtrusive logo though

OK - everyone has their own opinion - and design of this type of keypad is always going to be very difficult for you as it wont please everyone! IMO, less is definately more! Smile

Cheers.
