  • Publication number: 20100258422
    Abstract: A keyswitch and a keyboard are provided. The keyboard includes the keyswitch, and the keyswitch includes a base, a position limiting component, a balance beam, and a keycap. The position limiting component is disposed on the base and has a clipping portion and a position limiting portion. The balance beam has an engaging portion which is adapted to be engaged with the position limiting portion. The keycap has a pivotal structure for pivotally connecting the balance beam. When the balance beam is assembled toward the position limiting component, the engaging portion pushes the clipping portion to leave an initial position and then be engaged to the position limiting portion, and when the clipping portion recovers to the initial position, the engaging portion is limited at the position limiting portion by the clipping portion.

  • Publication number: 20100006412
    Abstract: A keycap and a press key structure along with a keyboard using the same are disclosed. The keycap, being comprised of a top and a bottom having a concave-convex structure formed thereon, is structured for allowing light to pass therethrough. There is a connecting component sandwiched between the keycap and a substrate in a manner that it is pivotally connected to the two in respective for allowing the keycap to move up and down in relative to the substrate. Moreover, there is at least a light source being disposed between the keycap and the substrate for projecting light to the concave-convex structure on the keycap? bottom and out of the keycap through the top thereof after being uniformly scattered by the concave-convex structure. Thus a press key is constructed. It is noted that by arranging a plurality of the aforesaid press keys in an array, a keyboard is constructed.
