These keyboards are generally quiet and the keys require little force to press.

A special case of the computer keyboard switch dome is the switch scissor. The keys are attached to the keyboard by two plastic pieces that lock into a "scissor" and wedge onto the keyboard and key. They still use rubber domes, but a special plastic scissor mechanism connects the keycap to a piston that depresses the rubber dome with a much shorter travel than the typical rubber dome keyboard.
