Metal dome is the most important part of the switches, so there are very strict requirements with the metal dome life. But now for most suppliers in China,  the quality of metal dome isn’t stable, and can’t meet the customers’ request. Specially for the four legs metal domes, the life can reach to one million times very little. The four legs metal domes are most used in the membrane switches, etc, so it’s very strict with the quality. The four legs metal domes we made are very stable, and the life can reach to one million times.
