The movement of air in and out from under the dome is called “venting” and it is important to have so the metal dome functions properly. Lack of venting can cause adverse effects on the feel and function of the switch. Venting metal domes is crucial in order for the dome to feel the way it was intended. There are a variety of ways to vent a metal dome. Visit our site for more information!
When designing any product that involves user input—from industrial control panels to consumer electronics—selecting the right keyboard switch is a decision that can significantly impact performance, user satisfaction, and product longevity. The term keyboard switch refers to the component beneath each key that registers a press and sends an electrical signal to the […]
Consistent momentum, precision driving, and tactical gains define a strong weekend for the Snaptron-sponsored driver. WATKINS GLEN, NY – June 30, 2025 — Snaptron proudly applauds Sabré Cook’s continued rise in the 2025 Porsche Carrera Cup North America as she secured her third consecutive top-10 finish at Watkins Glen International—her third in the […]
Tactile switches play a critical role in modern user interfaces, delivering essential physical feedback that enhances both precision and user experience. From medical devices to industrial controls and consumer electronics, tactile switches are engineered to provide a noticeable ‘bump’ during actuation, signaling to users that their input has been successfully registered. This article […]
When designing user interfaces for electronics, the choice of switch technology is crucial. Understanding the differences between dome switches and membrane switches is key to achieving the desired balance of performance, durability, cost, and tactile feedback. These two types of switches may appear similar in some applications, but their internal mechanics, performance characteristics, […]
