A key assembly including a base plate, a keycap, and at least one balance link. The balance link is disposed between the base plate and the keycap, the balance link having a top lever and two side levers, wherein the two side levers being connected to the top lever at both ends thereof, two ends of the two side levers away from the top lever being connected to the base plate, the top lever being connected to the keycap. The top lever and/or the two side levers include a plastic portion, the parts of the top lever and the two side levers other that the plastic portion being made of metal such that the balance link is a composite structure. The balance link contacts at least one of the keycap and the base plate via the plastic portion.

An electronic device includes a manipulating member extending in first directions and having a portion serving as a pressable portion which is pressed by a user, the manipulating member being elastically deformable such that the pressable portion is movable in second directions transverse to the first directions; a light source; and a light guide member configured to receive light from the light source, the light guide member extending in the first directions and being disposed along the manipulating member, the light guide member being separate from the manipulating member. The manipulating member is made of a light-transmissive material and is caused to glow by the light received from the light guide member.

A switch conversion apparatus including an interface device, a mounting plate configured to mount to a toggle switch and including at least one aperture for receiving a toggle arm of a toggle switch, and an actuator plate configured to slidably engage the mounting plate and including at least one aperture for receiving and engaging a toggle arm of a toggle switch when engaged by the interface device so as to transition the state of the switch. Other embodiments of a switch conversion apparatus include one or more mechanical, electrical, and/or pneumatic timers.

A keyboard device includes a circuit board and plural key structures. Each key structure includes a keycap, a hinge element and a base. The hinge element includes a first lateral wing part, a second lateral wing part and a bendable part. The first lateral wing part is connected between the keycap and the base. The second lateral wing part is connected between the keycap and the base. The bendable part is connected between the first lateral wing part and the second lateral wing part. The bendable part is thinner than the first lateral wing part and the second lateral wing part. While the keycap is moved upwardly or downwardly relative to the base, a bending angle of the hinge element and a relative position between the first base shaft and the first receiving hole are changed.

A reaction force generating member includes: a first dome that gives a reaction force to an operation member according to the depression of the operation member; and a second dome that includes a hemispherical bowl part disposed inside the first dome, and a projection projecting downward from the center of the bowl part and depressing a switch disposed below the operation member.

Provided are a control box and electric furniture. In the control box, a wireless charging assembly is pressed downward by an external force such that the wireless charging assembly moves downward relative to the control box body to drive or push the pressing portion toward a control switch. When the pressing portion abuts against the control switch, the control switch acts. After the external force is removed, the wireless charging module moves away from the control switch under the action of an elastic resetting portion so that the pressing portion is separated from the control switch.

A key mechanism is disclosed. The key mechanism comprises a keycap, a dome support structure positioned relative to the keycap and defining an opening, an actuation mechanism coupled to the keycap, and a collapsible dome positioned in the opening of the dome support structure. The actuation mechanism is configured to movably support the keycap relative to the dome support structure. The dome comprises an upstop member configured to limit upward travel of the collapsible dome.

Earphone assemblies with multiple subassembly housings are provided.

A silent key switch includes a base body, a static contact, a dynamic contact, a movable plate, a first balancing stand, a second balancing stand, and a keycap. The movable plate includes a silencer body arranged on the head of the movable plate, a U-shaped groove provided on the rear part of the movable plate, and a first slot provided adjacent to the silencer body; one end of the movable plate where the silencer body is located is abutted against the dynamic contact and the static contact; the first balancing stand and the second balancing stand intersect with each other and are pin jointed together in a superimposed way.

A pressing switch mechanism includes a housing, a board that is accommodated in the housing, a switch portion that is fixed to the board and generates a click feeling according to pressing a pressed portion in a direction approaching the board, and an operation plate which includes a bowl-shaped recessed surface that is recessed from a surface of the housing, of which an outer peripheral edge is supported by the housing, which is displaceably bent in the direction approaching the board, and in which a bottom wall portion of the recessed surface protruding inward the housing is in contact with the pressed portion.
