'''Alps semi-integrated dome''' is a provisional name for semi-discrete switches from [[Alps Electric]] which contain conductive rubber domes as part of the contact mechanism.

==Description==
Alps semi-integrated dome is related to [[Alps integrated dome]]. While the latter is a fully discrete switch, the former is a hybrid design. The [[rubber dome]]s are secured to the PCB by way of small plastic enclosures, and the domes are most likely to be conductive. The [[slider]]s however are mounted into a single moulded plastic plate. The switch shares the same slider shape as one of the integrated dome variants.

The switch unit itself is related to the Alps SKEY series;<ref name="PC-6001mk2" /> the SKEY switches currently listed at the time of writing only offer 1 mm and 1.2 mm travel, instead of the full travel of the switches used in keyboards.<ref>Alps Electric — [http://www.alps.com/prod/info/E/HTML/Tact/SnapIn/SKEY/SKEY_list.html SKEY Series - Products Line]</ref>
