What's the name of smd buttons build of a simple thin metal sheet which flex when pressed?
$begingroup$
As the topic title, I tried to find them but cannot get any informations about.
They are a sort of SMD tact switch made only by a very thin curved metal sheet. When you press they flex and make contact with the pcb or similar. I would like to post an image but I cannot find anything.

If you're talking about the part that flexes, it's called a "dome" or "snap dome". Photo from this site.

Digikey carries little SMD tactile switches, barely more than a thin piece that kind of pops down when pressed to make contact.

Dome is apparently purchasable too:

Keypad domes are designed to be placed on PCB, not soldered

So something needs to go over them to hold them in place.
