==Description==
[[File:WootingOneNotch.jpg|thumb|right|The switch and mounting hole are keyed with a notch.]]
Switches consist of individual switch modules mounted in a [[Switch mount#Plate mount|metal plate]] over a [[printed circuit board]]. Switches and mounting holes are keyed to allow insertion in only one orientation.

There are no electronics in the switch modules themselves. Instead, surface-mounted infra-red optoelectronic components on the circuit board provide the sensing in conjunction with a prism in the module's transparent slider.

Because the sensing is optical, sensing is fast with [[chatter|debouncing]] rated at 0.03 ms. It also allows "analogue" reading of key travel, currently at between 2 and 4 mm of key travel.
There are 2 type of switches, Type A are conventional functionality, and Type B, which have analogue functionality. So far, keyboards with Flaretech switches Type B are only available in the [[Wooting One]] and [[Wooting Two]].

Flaretech switches support backlighting through a transparent light-guide from a surface-mounted LED on the circuit board into the keycap. 
The light-guide is almost in the same position as the LED on a [[Cherry MX]] switch, only somewhat to the right. That makes them compatible with most keycaps for backlighting made for [[Cherry MX]] switches.
