Research Progress of MEMS Inertial Switches
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This work presents a review article that investigates inertial switches. Various structures and mechanisms are discussed an investigated in this article. In general, most of the references in this area have been covered. To complete the all of important topics in this area, beside the four subtitles (Intermittent inertial switches, Persistent inertial switch, Typical fabrication methods, Challenges and Prospects) the following subtitle (for example: performance range of inertial switches) should be added to the text, that the performance range of inertial switches is discussed and compared in this subtitle.
However in the present form there is essential information missing and also the edition needs to be improved.

Reviewer 3 Report
In this paper, the authors present “Research progress of MEMS inertial switches”. The quality of this paper is generally satisfactory; however, in order to lead to an improvement for this paper, I have following comments and suggestions.
1. The author should include performance comparison table for MEMS initial switches. The author should also include a table summarizing their failure factors and improvement methods in order to better understand for a reader.
2. A parallel paper titled “Recent Advancements in Inertial Micro-Switches” was published by author Peng.et.al. Challenges and Prospects section is also almost similar. What the author brings new things in this manuscript? Author should talk more about the challenges and prospects.
