Nangona kukho iindlela ezahlukeneyo zokuyila iiphedi ze-silicone zerabha, uninzi lubonisa ifomathi efanayo equka imathiriyeli yerabha ye-silicone ejikeleze iswitshi yombane embindini. Ngaphantsi kwezinto zerabha ye-silicone yimpahla eqhubayo, njengekhabhoni okanye igolide. Ngezantsi kwesi sixhobo sokuqhuba kukho ipokotho yomoya okanye igesi ye-inert, elandelwa ngumnxeba wokutshintsha. Ngoko ke, xa ucinezela ezantsi iswitshi, irabha abicah imathiriyeli deforms, ngaloo ndlela ebangela ukuba izinto conductive ukuba udibane ngqo nomfowunelwa iswitshi.

Iiphedi zeerabha ze-silicone nazo zisebenzisa iimpawu zokubumba ezithambileyo kunye nesiponji ukuvelisa impendulo ebambekayo. Xa ucinezela iqhosha kwaye ukhulule umnwe wakho, isitshixo siya "pop" umva. Esi siphumo sidala ukuvakala kwe-tactile ukukhanya, ngaloo ndlela uxelela umsebenzisi ukuba umyalelo wakhe ubhaliswe ngokufanelekileyo.
