Scissor-switch
Provided by the ASK Keyboard Dictionary
Aka/also known as: scissor switch, scissor-stabilised rubber dome, pantograph switch
A scissor-switch is a rubber dome keyswitch design where their keycaps and keyboard frame are connected via two cross-arms designed to stabilise the key to ensure a more uniform travel regardless of where you press the key and reduce wobbling. It's typically used for low-profile applications such as laptop keyboards, where their typically small rubber domes would have trouble stabilising a key on their own, but various desktop keyboards such as the Apple Magic Keyboard family also use them.
