Use of aviation grade elastic material, parts of the gold-plating process, comprehensive upgraded durability , the mechnical life up to 6000 cycles.It's easy to solder it on the PCB board and put the key switch in the PCB. Then if you wanna change the keyswitch, you can do it anytime just use the key puller.
