A key stabilizer is provided, in which the key stabilizer includes a keycap and a balance bar. The keycap has a bottom surface and two protruding portions disposed thereon. The keycap moves back and forth along a vertical direction between a top position and a bottom position. Each of the two protruding portions has an engaging portion at the end thereof. The bottom surface faces the bottom position, and the two protruding portions are arranged along a horizontal direction that is perpendicular to the vertical direction. The balance bar has a hinge portion and two side portions respectively connected to both ends of the hinge portion. The hinge portion is positioned on a rotation axis parallel to the horizontal direction. The end of each of the two side portions that is away from the hinge portion is inserted into the engaging portion.

System and methods for providing a keyframe module for a input device are disclosed. In an embodiment, the input device includes a keyframe having a key opening, and a key disposed within the key opening. The key includes a keycap having a bottom surface, a plurality of tabs that extend laterally from the bottom surface of the keycap, and a protrusion extending from the bottom surface of the keycap. A compressible dome structure is disposed underneath the protrusion, and a plate is coupled to the keyframe and disposed underneath the compressible dome structure. A plurality of openings is disposed within the plate, where a location of the plurality of openings corresponds to a location of the plurality of tabs such that one or more of the plurality of tabs pass through one or more of the plurality of openings in response to the depression of the key.

A thin keyboard device is described herein. In one or more implementations, a keyboard device includes a plurality of keys, and a housing that includes a structural printed circuit board (PCB). The structural PCB includes, for each of the plurality of keys, a first conductive trace and a second conductive trace. The keyboard device further includes a key-switch mechanism for each of the plurality of keys. The key-switch mechanism includes a conductive material oriented towards the first conductive trace and the second conductive trace, and is configured to cause the conductive material to move downwards, when the key is depressed, to electrically connect the first conductive trace and the second conductive trace of the depressed key.

A flexible magnetically coupled pushbutton switch assembly has a coupler layer magnetically held against a flexible layer that has flaps that function as flexible armatures. The flexible armatures are normally magnetically coupled to the coupler layer. The coupler layer is a sheet of magnetic receptive rubber material that includes debossed spacers, and there are embossed crowns in the flexible armatures. The embossed crowns fit into openings in the coupler layer so that a switch user may manipulate the flexible armatures. The debossed spacers support the flexible layer above a bottom layer such that there are armature cavities for the flexible armatures. An arrangement of electrical conductors is affected when a switch user selectively manipulates a flexible armature so that an electrical circuit connected to the electrical switch is opened or closed when the switch is actuated.

A keyboard comprising at least one flap forming a key, the flap being pressed against a contact point when depressed from above, and rising back after the depressing. The flap is attached by its one end to the frame sheet of the keyboard in such a way that this structure forms the hinge of the key. There is at least one buckling member in connection with the flap, and the flap is formed rigid. The keyboard may be formed in such a way, for example, that a keyboard frame sheet is formed, the flap forming the key is cut partially off the keyboard frame sheet, a buckling member is formed in connection with the flap, and the flap is lifted upwards from the surface of the frame sheet.

A push button panel having twelve push buttons arranged in three columns of four push buttons per column. A push button panel of the type described wherein a common signal is connected to the unique combination of two out of seven circuit paths when a given push button is depressed. The panel has a minimum number of individual parts and employs lead frame techniques to facilitate fabrication of the parts in a rapid manner according to well understood procedures. A push button panel arranged to optimize the spring characteristics of the members so as to minimize the likelihood of false signals without requiring excessive force to operate the push buttons.

A snap-action switch is formed from a thin resilient sheet that is elastically stressed into a three-dimensional configuration. One or more bi-stable segments are provided wherein relative movement of the end of a bi-stable segment causes a snap action into a reversely-curved configuration. Switch contacts are only engaged or disengaged after the switch has snapped into a stable configuration.
