A keyswitch uses a magnetic attraction force produced between and by a fixed part, fixedly disposed relative to a base, and a movable part, movably disposed relative to the base, as a driving force for returning a keycap to its original position. The movable part is between the fixed part and the base. The keyswitch also uses a force transmission part disposed between the keycap and the movable part as an intermediate for transferring force from the keycap to the movable part. When a force for pressing the keycap downward overcomes the magnetic attraction force, the movable part moves toward the base and then triggers a switch.

The present invention relates to a magnetic proximity switch, comprising a casing, and a balance plate is transversely provided in the middle within the casing; a dynamic magnet and a static magnet are disposed in parallel on the left and right sides above the balance plate; the left end of the balance plate is hinged within the casing; the lower surface of the right end of the balance plate is provided with a dynamic contact; the balance plate is connected to the dynamic magnet via an elastic component A; a wiring terminal A and a wiring terminal B are fixed in parallel on the left and right sides at the bottom in the casing; the top of the wiring terminal A is connected to the balance plate via an elastic component B; the upper portion of the wiring terminal B is transversely bent.

A magnetic keyboard includes a base, a switch circuit board and plural keys. Each key includes a keycap, plural first magnetic elements and plural second magnetic elements. The switch circuit board is disposed on the base. The plural keys are connected with the base. The plural first magnetic elements of each key are fixed on an inner surface of the keycap. The plural second magnetic elements are disposed within the base. The first magnetic elements are partially inserted into the corresponding second magnetic elements. Consequently, the keys are connected with the base, and the function of returning the keycaps to their original positions are achievable.

A multi-directional operating device includes an operating member, a support body, movable members, a pair of movable magnetic members, a facing magnetic member, stopper portions, a drive member, and a cam member. One of the drive member and the cam member has a guide surface having a first projection, and another of the drive member and the cam member has a sliding surface having a second projection. When the operating member is inclined in a first direction, one of the movable magnetic members is inclined, and inclination of another movable magnetic member is stopped by one of the stopper portions. When the operating member is inclined in a second direction, the first projection and the second projection are moved beyond projecting portions of each other and slide on each other. This multi-directional operating device is preferably applied to a vehicle shift apparatus.

A push button includes a snap-action mechanism. The snap-action mechanism includes a magnetic bar and a mobile support. The magnetic bar is secured to a fixed body of the button. The mobile support is capable of sliding between a top position and a bottom position. In the top position, a magnetic component and the bar are magnetically affixed to one another, and an upper part of the support is moved away from the bar. In the bottom position, the magnetic component is moved away and detached from the bar. A spring is interposed between a pusher and the upper part of the support so as to accelerate movement of the magnetic component away from the bar after the magnetic component has been detached from the bar. The upper part of the support is configured to bear against the bar in the bottom position.
