PushGate
Duraswitch PushGate® is our unique patented pushbutton design that combines the advantages of discrete mechanical and flat panel membrane switches with a host of other benefits that make it ideal for next-generation products.

The thin profile PushGate pushbuttons are cost effective and simple in design. Nothing in the marketplace today comes close to this technology for reliability and durability. Its crisp, consistent tactile feel does not degrade over time differentiating it substantially from conventional mechanical and membrane switches.
