SMT switch, what's it called? (it's like a bubble)
I'd like to know what a certain type of switch is called. I don't need specific model id.
Here's a close up photo of it:

It's only about 4 mm (about 0.16 inches) wide.
It's like a bubble. It switches distinctly between being convex and concave when the key which normally sits on top of it, is depressed and released.
Also, I wonder what it looks like inside. I would like to switch this switch electronically instead of with my finger. But the details of the surface mounted board are too small for me to solder on. Could I cut open this "bubble" and find something which is more easy for me to work with in this respect?
I've googled all I can without finding anything like it, although I know it is a cheap common type of switch. Google doesn't help when words are missing... And image search mostly turns up fried eggs! :lol:
