Tactile feedback from tiny jog switch
The latest jog lever switch from Omron is not only smaller and thinner than existing lever switches, but also provides a better tactile feel
Type B6J switches are ideal for applications in consumer electronics, for example portable audio devices, mobile phones, PDAs and voice recorders. An advanced new mechanism provides tactile feedback in both up/down and sideways (clockwise/anticlockwise) directions, making operation easier and more reliable.
