摘要： A portable device (e.g., a wireless device such as a cell phone) is provided with a flexible keyboard and a flexible display screen. Such flexible components may be stored in the housing of the portable device when not in use. The flexible display screen and flexible keyboard may be expanded from the housing when the flexible components are utilized by a user. Non-flexible display and input components may be provided on the exterior of the portable device such that the device may be used, in some form, while the flexible components are stored. In one embodiment, a portion of the flexible display (or flexible keyboard) may be utilized when the flexible display (or flexible keyboard) is stored in said first housing.

摘要： Example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an electrical switch with an adjustable tactile profile and/or an adjustable audio profile. One example includes an electrical switch with a pushbutton, a plunger, two metal contacts, a biasing spring, and a housing body. A user can press and move the pushbutton. The pushbutton's movement can move the plunger. The plunger's movement can cause the plunger to create or break a conductive connection between the metal contacts. Specifically, at least one unique actuator surface of two or more unique actuator surfaces on the plunger can engage the metal contacts. Changing the tactile profile can involve changing the unique actuator surface engaging the metal contacts. The conductive connection can indicate whether the electrical switch is in an unpressed or pressed state. The biasing spring can bias the electrical switch to the unpressed state. The housing body can contain the other components.

摘要： Key switches of the inventive subject matter are designed to give users the tactile feel of key switches from expensive mechanical keyboards without drawback typically associated with alternative key switches. In some embodiments, key switches described in this application are designed to function with a sheet of membrane switches. These embodiments feature a plunger and rocker combination that prevents the pressure from a user's key press from being directly transferred to a membrane switch, thereby reducing wear and tear.

摘要： A mouse device includes a casing, a circuit board and two button modules. The circuit board is disposed within the casing. Each button module includes an electronic switch, a button lid, a first protrusion post, a second protrusion post and a buffering structure. The electronic switch is disposed within the casing. An end of the button lid is connected with the casing. The first protrusion post and the second protrusion post are disposed on the bottom surface of the button lid. The buffering structure is disposed on the casing and aligned with the second protrusion post. The second protrusion post is inserted into a buffering hole of the buffering structure. While the button lid is depressed or the pressing force is released, the buffering structure is contacted or not contacted with the second protrusion post along a first lateral direction and/or a second lateral direction.
