+ | [* black] Now that we have some context, we can take a closer look at the ''key'' components of 2019's butterfly switch: |
+ | [* black] Topping it all off is the key cap. This has a handy label to tell users which key is broken. |
+ | [* black] Attached to the key cap, the butterfly mechanism controls the key's motion, stabilizing it and ensuring that it travels up and down without wobbling or tilting. |
+ | [* black] The dome switch cover is a frame supporting a flexible membrane that moves with the key, while keeping contaminants away from the dome switch underneath. |
[* black] Metal dome—supplies the spring force for the key while also serving as the electrical switch by deforming and bridging the board contacts | |
[* black] Board contacts—(needs update) connecting the central pads with any of the four outer pads signals a keypress | |
[* black] Silicone sleeve—provides ingress resistance for the butterfly mechanism to prevent it from being physically jammed |
