  "term": "Keybounce",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "An undesirable electrical signal noise that occurs when a mechanical switch or relay is pressed. The physical contacts can rebound against each other several times before settling into a stable closed state, generating a rapid series of on-off signals instead of a single clean one. Debouncing circuits or software algorithms are used to filter these spurious signals and register only a single keystroke or switch activation.",
