Tact switches are commonly used to close an electrical circuit when pressed. These switches usually perform a momentary action in devices and provide tactile feedback (a physical click) to the user when actuated. They’re a fundamental component in many products — providing a reliable and user-friendly way to interact with the device — but what are the best tactile switches 2025?
