Key Switches
A key switch refers to the individual mechanism that registers a keypress, similar to a keyboard switch. When a user presses a key, the switch underneath that key closes or opens an electrical circuit, sending a signal to the computer or device to input a specific command. A mechanical key switch is an electromechanical switch, functioning much like a tactile or pushbutton switch. Explore our selection and find the features that suit your key switch needs.
