| [* black] What else? The metal dome | |
| - | [* black] The dome is like a Snapple bottle cap. It must deform and pop back up reliably every time a key is pressed. If it cracks, or a leg bends, or it's weakened by heat stress, it will stop moving as it should and fail to touch the board contacts correctly. It may stick in the "on" position, or it may move out of place and can't be pressed down. |
| + | [* black] The dome is like a Snapple bottle cap. You press down and it springs back up. Like a Snapple cap, if you press too hard or if you crack it, the cap will stop popping back up. If you press it too many times, the cap will eventually stop popping back up. |

| [* black] The 2019 model has a visually different color | |
