Abstract: A keyswitch structure includes a keycap support mechanism and a keycap that is supported by the keycap support mechanism in a vertical direction. The keycap support mechanism includes a base and two supports. The base has two sliding slots. Each sliding slot has an opening in a horizontal direction and an obstruction block at the opening. The horizontal direction is perpendicular to the vertical direction. Each support has a sliding portion and a linkage portion.

The obstruction block prevents the corresponding sliding portion from disengaging from the corresponding sliding slot. The two linkage portions push against each other in line contact, so that the two supports are mutually driven through the two linkage portions.

Abstract: A keyswitch structure includes a lift mechanism and a keycap. Two supports of the lift mechanism support the keycap. There can be a spring structure connecting the two supports for driving the two supports to lift the keycap.

The switch includes an intermediate support, detachably abutting downward against the lift mechanism or the keycap, and a resilient part, detachably abutting downward against the intermediate support. In the process of pressing the keycap, the intermediate support is separated from the lift mechanism or the keycap, so that the contact force of the switch can be maintained constant.
