;Plain rubber dome
:A slider is moulded into the keycap ([[Keycap_mount|Integrated mount]]) that pushes down on the dome; this is the most common variety
;Dome with slider
:Similar to more expensive discrete switches, each key position has a [[slider]] that presses on the dome, onto which the keycap is [[Keycap mount|mounted]]; on some keyboards the slider has a standard Cherry MX mount or Alps mount interface and the board will accept keycaps from mechanical keyboards and donate keycaps for mechanical boards. Dome switches with sliders are now uncommon, but this is the form taken by Topre switches; [[NMB dome with slider]] and [[BTC dome with slider]] are two of the better-known membrane implementations.
;Scissors
:Laptop keyboards introduced the use of [[Scissor switch|scissor-like]] mechanisms to stabilise low travel switches that lack a shaft for the keycap to slide inside
