Best Technology Co., Ltd. has been specializing in metal domes and dome arrays since 2006. We’ve built our reputation by doing things differently—offering consistent quality, professional customization, and fast delivery, even for the smallest orders.
Whether you need 100 domes or 10,000, we treat your request with the same attention and precision.
How to make a steel dome?
It starts with high-quality stainless steel—typically SUS301 or SUS304. These materials offer the flexibility and durability needed to ensure strong tactile performance.
The steel is first slit into precise strips. Each strip is then passed through a stamping mold. This mold, made from hardened tool steel, forms the dome’s signature shape.
The height, diameter, and click force of every dome are carefully controlled. Even a slight variation can impact the click feel or electrical contact.
After stamping, we apply heat treatment to stabilize the dome. This gives it the spring effect, which defines how it performs over time. A well-treated dome should rebound cleanly, maintain its force characteristics, and last over a million cycles. Surface treatments like nickel plating or gold plating are added if needed.
Each one goes through quality checks to ensure the click force, tactile feel, and dimensions are within tolerances.
How are metal domes made?
Metal domes are made through a highly detailed process that leaves no room for error. At Best Technology, we follow every step under ISO9001:2015 standards.
First, we design the dome’s shape based on your application. It might be a four-leg dome for a keypad or a round dome for a handheld controller. Once the design is confirmed, we start tool fabrication. Custom dies are created to match the required force and dimension specs.
The metal is then stamped with extreme precision. This defines the tactile response. We verify the actuation force, return force, and rebound speed. Domes are checked for edge smoothness, burr-free finish, and consistent height.
Next, the domes undergo cleaning and surface coating. This step prevents rust and extends life. Finally, they are packaged in trays, tape and reel, or dome arrays—depending on your need.
Are small metal domes customizable?
Yes. In fact, most of our small quantity orders are fully customized. Customization is at the heart of what we do. That’s why we make it easy for you to get exactly what you need.
You can customize the shape—round, triangle, oblong, or four-leg. Sizes range from 4mm to 20mm. You can choose the actuation force you want, from soft-touch 180gf to firm-click 600gf. Need a special surface finish? We offer nickel plating, gold plating, and more.
Even packaging is customizable. Some clients prefer loose domes. Others want PET dome arrays with adhesive backing. We also offer tape and reel packaging for automated pick and place. No matter your need, we’ve done it before.
You can also customize the number of domes in a batch. Many manufacturers won’t touch orders under 10,000 pieces. We take orders starting from 100 pieces. Whether it’s a prototype, a repair run, or a niche production, we’re ready to support you.

How do we ensure dome quality in small batches?
This is where we shine. Many suppliers overlook small-batch quality. We follow the same ISO9001:2015 quality system across all orders.
Each dome is checked for size tolerance, force value, and click feel. We test the bounce-back response and actuation force curve. Every step is monitored.
We also provide documentation. You receive full product specs, force graphs, material certifications, and environmental compliance like ROHS/REACH.
We understand that when you’re ordering small quantities, every dome counts. There’s no room for failure. That’s why our inspection team is hands-on, checking every detail before packing.
We also test PET dome arrays for proper alignment, peel strength, and circuit accuracy. Whether you need loose domes or adhesive arrays, we guarantee reliable performance.
