English term or phrase: soft touch
Eine neuartige Schere (u.a. für Pizzen) wird wie folgt beschrieben:

Soft touch closing stoppers between handles.

=> soft touch?

Ich weiß, dass das so eine weiche Taste wie auf Fernbedienungen usw. ist. Gibt es dafür eine deutsche Übersetzung?

Soft-Touch


Explanation:
soft touch wir durchaus auf deutsch verwendet, zum Beispiel bei Bildschirmen, Soft Touch Screen, da es hier um einen Scheren-Sicherheitemechanismus geht: z.b. Soft-Touch-Schließsperre

disagree  M-A-Z: "Soft-Touch" ist in der deutschen Allgemeinsprache unverständlich. Übersetzer sollten nicht zur Verbreitung unverständlicher Anglizismen beitragen, wenn es Alternativen gibt.
