A control device includes a button assembly having one or more buttons and a button carrier that includes a plurality of resilient, independently deflectable spring arms. The control device may be configured as a wall-mounted keypad to control a load control device, or as a thermostat to control a temperature regulation appliance. The button carrier may be configured to prevent interference between the buttons during operation of the control device. The button assembly may be captured between a faceplate of the control device and a housing that is attached to a rear side of the faceplate. The control device may include one or more button retainers that are attached to the buttons and that are configured to align respective outer surfaces of the buttons relative to each other, and relative to the faceplate of the control device, when the buttons are in respective rest positions.

An adjustable keyboard where a macro key is (or can be) made up of multiple, proximate micro keys by adjusting a vertical, at-rest position of the micro keys individually. More specifically, the micro keys forming the macro key are set in a high position, while micro keys surrounding the micro keys forming the macro key will generally be set in the low position. In this way, traditional data entry keyboard keys (that is, macro keys) can be built up in an arbitrary fashion, according to the desires and needs of the user, from a larger matrix of micro keys.

Button keys, resilient supports and a frame are molded in one piece such that the button keys are resiliently movable and are spaced apart by a gap. Each of the button keys includes an engagement portion. A case includes a button hole formed therein. The case is assembled to the frame such that the button keys are received in the button hole. After the case has been assembled to the frame such that the plurality of adjacent button keys are received in the button hole and such that the engagement portion abuts a perimeter portion of the button hole, the second gap being smaller than the first gap.

An illuminated keyboard provided distinguishable key locations includes a keyboard portion and a luminous portion. The keyboard portion includes a baseboard and a plurality of rows of keycaps located on the baseboard. The keycaps and the baseboard are bridged by a plurality of moving mechanisms. The keycaps are movable up and down against the baseboard through the moving mechanisms. The keycaps on neighboring rows are spaced by a first gap. The neighboring keycaps on each row are spaced by a second gap. The luminous portion is located between the keycaps and the baseboard and has a plurality of first lighting sections corresponding to the first gap and a plurality of second lighting sections corresponding to the second gap. The second lighting section has two ends connecting to two adjacent first lighting sections. Thus luminosities of the keycaps and the first and second gaps are different to facilitate distinguishing of the locations of the keys.

Portable phones are getting a trend that s design and thinner configuration becomes more important. Therefore, in order to meet this demand, the entire key top is made of a thin metal, and a thin resin layer is provided on the back surface of the key top and further letter holes are filled with a resin. According to those, the adhesiveness of the key top is improved as well as improvement of hand feeling. In addition, a printed layer for coloring the letters can be provided on the back surface of the key top.
