Those include the robust design, integrated mouse devices, customized layouts and colors, and custom microcode. While we specialize in making buckling spring keyboards, we do offer most all of our models with a rubberdome (R/D) keyswitch for users who want the other benefits our products offer. Yes, the force required to press a buckling spring is a little higher than a rubberdome, but the low force over-travel period designed into the buckling spring allows your fingers to comfortably decelerate before hitting the key bottom. With the instantaneous nature of the buckling spring, your fingers can stop before the key hits bottom. To compensate, many rubberdome users end up pounding the keys as they type. In fact most rubberdome keyboards require you to press the key all the way to the bottom. If you've tried to enter a shifted character but it came out lower case, that's why. If you miss characters as you type and you know you pressed the key, that's why. Standard rubberdome keyboards record the keystroke well after the tactile change is felt by your fingers. The buckling spring key switch is design to record your keystroke at the precise instant that you feel the tactile change. Your fingers will feel the difference with a buckling spring keyboard.

The buckling spring 'Model M' keyboard, invented by IBM in the 80's popularized by Lexmark in the early 90's and manufactured by Unicomp for the past 17 years is regaining its status as one of the best keyboards in the market. Our Quiet Touch (QT) keyboards use a rubber dome (R/D) switch technology that provides an alternative solution for those occasions where the loud acoustic feedback of a buckling spring keyboard might be a distraction to other nearby people in an office or home environment. The buckling spring (B/S) technology provides excellent tactile and acoustic feedback to the user and is the preferred technology used by high speed, high volume typists.

Unicomp uses two different switch technologies in our products.
