A Resistive Touch Switch is a type of input device that detects touch through pressure applied to its surface. It consists of two conductive layers separated by a small gap. When pressure is applied, the layers touch, creating a circuit that registers the input. This technology is commonly used in devices like smartphones, tablets, and kiosks. These switches are known for their simplicity and durability. They can be operated with any object, including fingers, styluses, or gloves, making them versatile in various environments. However, they may not support multi-touch gestures as effectively as other technologies, such as capacitive touch screens.
