Tactile & Keyboard Switches

Tactile switches, prevalent in keyboards, feature a distinct tactile bump during actuation, providing users feedback. Beneath each key, a tactile switch comprises a spring-loaded mechanism. Upon keypress, the switch's contacts close, completing the circuit and sending the signal. Keyboard switches also include linear and clicky variants. Linear switches lack tactile feedback, allowing smoother keystrokes, while clicky switches produce an audible click during actuation. Mechanical keyboards utilize individual switches for each key, enhancing durability and facilitating customization. These switches, pivotal to user experience, determine the feel and responsiveness of keystrokes, influencing typing comfort and efficiency in diverse applications.
