Plastic Membrane Keyboard

[SUNRAY]

I'm trying to modify a keyboard - actually cutting it down to just the number pad end - and will be wanting to "solder" wires onto the flexible membrane tracks, obviously soldering will be out of the question as the membrane will instantly melt and the tracks aren't real tracks.

Has anyone had any success with with any of the 'conductive glues'

One of the problems I foresee is the bulk I'll have to add in between the layers of the membrane

The main buttons I require are up, down, vol up, vol down, mute, enter or return, Fn11, Fn12.

Of which only one natively exists on a numerical keypad.

Is the making of this an end itself, or just something you need to do as part of a higher-level project?

I'm hoping it will be a useable product, doesn't particularly need to be pretty, just functional
