A double-sided metal mesh conductive particle and a pushbutton having the double-sided metal mesh conductive particle. The double-sided metal mesh conductive particle includes a first metal mesh layer, a first adhesive layer, a base layer, a second adhesive layer, and a second metal mesh layer arranged sequentially from top to bottom; an upper surface of the first metal mesh layer has a multiple of first conductive bumps, and a lower surface of the second metal mesh layer has a multiple of second conductive bumps. The double-sided metal mesh conductive particle ensures a reliable contact with a circuit and provides a good electrical conductivity and a double-sided conduction. When the conductive particle is installed to a pushbutton with an electrical contact function, a double-sided conduction can be achieved to prevent the conductive particle from being installed in a wrong direction or affecting the electrical conductivity.

What is presented is a key module (120) for a keyboard. The key module (120) comprises a first wing element (230) and a second wing element (230) for guiding a movement of the key module (120) upon actuation. Each wing element (230) comprises a bar, a first arm and a second arm. The arms extend away from the bar. A mounting portion (232) is formed on the bar. A first bearing portion (234) for bearing the wing element (230) is formed on the first arm. A second bearing portion (234) for bearing the wing element (230) is formed on the second arm. The first wing element (230) and the second wing element (230) are mechanically coupleable to each other. The key module (120) also comprises at least one spring element (240) for providing a reset force upon actuation of the key module (120). The at least one spring element (240) is mountable to the mounting portion (232) of the first wing element (230) and the mounting portion (232) of the second wing element (230). The key module (120) further comprises a support element (250) for supporting the wing elements (230). A plurality of accommodating portions (252) for accommodating the bearing portions (234) of the wing elements (230) are formed in the support element (250).

A keyswitch device which is provided with a support mechanism which supports a keytop in a movable manner, and a membrane sheet which has a plurality of upper electrodes and a plurality of lower electrodes which respectively correspond to the plurality of the upper electrodes and which form contact pairs with the corresponding upper electrodes. A plurality of contact pairs are arranged for a single keytop. The rubber cup pushes the plurality of contact pairs which are arranged for the single keytop.

A switch device includes an operation switch including a switch knob formed integrally with a recess configured to allow a finger to be inserted. The operation switch includes a detector configured to detect a change in a physical amount caused by operation of the switch knob.
