OEM Customized Design Rubber Dome Switch Industrial With Glossy Surface

Disadvantages

• Travel Distance: The key travel distance may be longer compared to mechanical switches, potentially impacting typing speed and comfort.
• Durability: Rubber domes can wear out over time, leading to a decrease in performance.
• Tactile Feel: They often lack the satisfying click or tactile feedback found in mechanical switches, which some users prefer.

Applications

Rubber dome switches are commonly used in:

• Laptops: Some laptops use rubber dome switches for their keyboard designs.
• Membrane Keyboards: Often found in budget keyboards.
• Remote Controls: Used in many consumer electronics, such as TVs and DVD players.

Characteristics of Rubber Dome Switches

• Tactile Feedback: Rubber dome switches usually provide some level of tactile feedback, which can vary in intensity depending on the design. This feedback is often less pronounced compared to mechanical switches.

• Cost-Effective: They are generally cheaper to manufacture than mechanical switches, making them a popular choice for low-cost devices.

• Construction: These switches consist of a rubber dome that collapses when pressed. The dome is typically placed over a circuit board, and pressing the dome completes an electrical circuit.

• Quiet Operation: Rubber dome switches tend to be quieter than mechanical switches, which can be an advantage in environments where noise is a concern.

Advantages

• Simplicity: Easy to manufacture and integrate into various devices.
• Affordability: Lower production costs lead to more affordable products.
• Quiet: Suitable for environments where noise needs to be minimized.
