On a keyboard equipped with scissor key switches, the key caps are attached to the keyboard via two plastic pieces that interlock in a "scissor"-like fashion, and snap to the keyboard and the key. They usually have a shorter total key travel distance (2 mm instead of 3.5 – 4 mm for standard dome-switch keyswitches). This type of keyswitch is often found on the built-in keyboards on laptops and keyboards marketed as 'low-profile'. These keyboards are generally quiet and the keys require little force to press. The Elite V2 keyboard uses scissor key switches to provide the ultimate in key feel and quiet, comfortable typing.
