The Right Partnership for Custom Input Devices

When it comes to developing custom input devices, success is never down to just great components. It’s about finding a partner who is not just a supplier, who understands the technical, operational and environmental demands unique to your industry.

At Devlin Electronics, we’ve been solving those challenges for over 40 years. Whether you're in broadcast, medical, industrial, financial or another demanding field, we design and manufacture input solutions that are reliable, intuitive and built to last. But more importantly, we do it in close collaboration with you because no two use cases are the same.

In a world where precision matters, choosing the right input device partner can make all the difference.

What to Expect From a Trusted Partner

When evaluating a partner to deliver on your electro-mechanical input devices, it’s essential to go beyond surface-level specifications or pricing. A true partner is invested in your success and capable of delivering both technical excellence and strategic support.

Here’s what you should look for in a trusted input device partner and why we believe Devlin Electronics is trusted by the UK’s most respected organisations.

1. Industry Understanding

Every sector has its own operational nuances. In broadcast, for example, devices must function intuitively under high-pressure, real-time environments. In medical settings, input systems must prioritise hygiene, safety and regulatory compliance. In industrial environments, robustness and reliability are paramount.

At Devlin Electronics, we don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions. Our approach begins with understanding your industry, your application use and your challenges. This insight allows us to deliver tailored devices that not only meet but often exceed expectations.

2. Engineering and Design Expertise

Even the most sophisticated user interface is useless if it fails in the field. That’s why our in-house engineering team works closely with clients to design input devices that are functionally sound, ergonomically designed and technically robust.

We handle every part of the process, from PCB layout and firmware development to mechanical design and prototyping. This ensures you benefit from a fully integrated solution that is engineered with both the user and application in mind.

For solutions that need custom keypads, control panels, switching systems or something entirely unique, we bring the same attention to detail and commitment to quality every time.

3. Collaborative Process

The best outcomes are born from strong partnerships. That’s why we involve you at every stage of the process, from initial consultation and specification to design reviews, prototyping, testing and final production.

This close collaboration allows us to iterate quickly, respond to evolving needs and ensure that what you get is exactly what you need.

Unlike some larger manufacturers, we’re small enough to be agile and responsive, yet experienced enough to handle complex, large-scale projects.

4. Quality and Compliance

At Devlin Electronics, quality isn’t an add-on-it’s embedded in everything we do. Our manufacturing processes are ISO 9001 certified and all our devices undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet performance, durability and compliance standards.

We understand the importance of traceability, lifecycle support and regulatory requirements, especially in safety-critical industries. Whether it’s CE marking, RoHS compliance or bespoke testing protocols, we’ve got it covered.

5. Long Term Support and Reliability

Choosing a partner means committing to a relationship that extends beyond product delivery. At Devlin Electronics, we support our clients with ongoing technical support, product updates and even end-of-life transition planning.

Many of our devices remain in service for 10+ years and we provide consistent support to ensure long-term performance. We’re not just here for the build, we’re here for the entire lifecycle.
