Rak14014 button connections

I own a rak14014 TFT display module, and it has two connectors for mechanical switches.

The rak14014 datasheet

At the bottom of the datasheet it states that the two small connectors of the rak14014 are routed to connect some 2*3 thin-film button parts.

I want to use this product, so that I can get button input to meshtastic.

Would somebody explain what product the datasheet is referring to?

It looks like the correct button product would have three buttons and connect with a FPC ribbon with 0.5mm pitch and six contacts.

Hello Michel,

The documentation is outdated unfortunately.

The matching buttons would be these:

However, as
(1) the FPC is very short
(2) the TFT has a touch screen already
we decided that the final RAK14014 will not have the connectors or required interface assembled:

The RAK14014 that was delivered to me has both the connectors and IC marked red in your photo, so I’m trying to use them. My product design does not have capacitive touch, so the hardware buttons are needed.

It’s okay if the FPC connector is too short.

I can’t find any product similar to the white button strip photo, can anyone offer a link or even better a shopping product page?

You have to go through [email protected].
But I doubt we sell these buttons separate.
They are part of the RAK14000
