Abstract: A keyboard system has a plurality of spaced sets of conductive members, each set including two outer U-shaped support members and a central U-shaped contact member disposed between the support members. The central member is coined to reduce the thickness of its outer portions and to dispose a central part upstanding at the center of the member. These members are arranged at a surface of an insulating support in electrical communication with conductive paths on an opposite surface of the support. A plurality of actuatable conductive elements, one for each set of conductive members, are provided to establish bridging electrical connections between the support members of the sets and the upstanding parts of the central contact members of the sets upon application of preselected deflecting forces to the conductive elements.
