hey there, i opened a old tv remote. I noticed that the buttons are different to what i have seen so far. There is a silicon layer. When i press a button the layer will be bend so it touches a pattern on the circuit board. Here is also a photo: what are these pads/ patterns called? Thank you!

what is the name of these buttons?
