No wonder manufacturers use the same type of door buttons on the new trains these daysThat's an EAO Series 56.
Other players in the UK include Craig and Derricott and to a degree LPA Excil but these both tend to be legacy designs.
Googling PRM-TSI buttons yeilds plenty of results, a lot of people try and not use EAO because of cost and slip to other manufacturers for cab HMI.
Ive noticed the buttons on the 385s dont click in like others.
I think they're more like a touch panel than a button

They are push-buttons but with only a tiny movement, and I believe they are from TSL Escha.
Yeah , i dont find them satisfying to use ha
I think also because you aren't sure you've pressed it, at least with a more conventional button you get that satisfying "click"
Indeed, they didn't realise that feedback is very important and can even save some time !

oh I remember the thinking behind that design now !
If you look closely at that design, it’s completely sealed. The design is meant to make the button completely water-and cleaning liquid-proof. @hexagon789 So maybe not that cheap as it does look like quite a complex design, @Domh245
I didn't think it looked cheap, just it took a bit of getting used to the lack of familiar 'click' when pressing it. If it's more reliable then I'm all for it, but perhaps it could be designed to flash and give a soft tone when successfully pressed so you know for certain you've pressed it!
the cheap comment was for D
I agree with you (not for the noises though, there’s enough like that already), but surely there’s a way to make a sealed button that clicks or at least moves a bit ?
An audible click i.e. imitating the other design?I think a built in say double flash of the light surround would do, with some sort of sound for the visually impaired

But, please, no more bings or bongs. Far too much audible rubbish as it is without adding more.
