An electronic device is provided here, which includes a casing, a keycap and a keyboard backlight module. The casing has a first opening. The keycap is disposed corresponding to the first opening, and a gap is formed between the keycap and a periphery of the first opening. The keyboard backlight module includes a shielding layer, the shielding layer includes a light transmission area corresponding to the first opening and a light block portion, and the light block portion is located in the light transmission area and covers a region where at least one light path passes through the gap and intersects the light transmission area through.

Systems and methods for providing input component assemblies for dome switches are provided. In some embodiments, an input component assembly may include a contact area coupled to a circuit board for a switch, a conductive covering for enclosing the circuit board, and a dome positioned over the conductive covering, where the dome is operative to close at least one circuit of the switch when the dome is depressed towards the conductive covering.

A keyboard (110) comprises a base board (116), keys (112), pitfalls (120) and a mode control mechanism (118). The keys (112) include cups (1124), and the mode control mechanism (118) may switch the keyboard (110) especially the key cups (1124) between different modes. In case that the keyboard (110) is not in use, these cups (1124) can be received in the pitfalls (120) to reduce the profile of the keyboard (110). In case that the keyboard (110) is to be used, the keys (112) may be raised up and arranged on the base board (116) in order to enable long keystroke and provide good typing experience.

An input device configured to communicate with a computing device includes at least one keycap, a support mechanism operably connected to the keycap and configured to move the keycap from a first position to a second position, a feature plate operably connected to the support mechanism, and a sensing member. The sensing member is configured to detect at least one of a change of position of the at least one keycap, a speed of the at least one keycap, an amount of force applied to the at least one keycap, or a location of a finger. The sensing member may be a capacitive sensor. In some embodiments, the input device may not include the support mechanism and the sensing member may be configured to detect the location of a finger regardless whether or not the keycap moves.

A switch board of a board unit includes a switch board including an exposed portion exposed to an outside, a non-exposed portion not exposed to the outside, and a switch provided in the non-exposed portion. The non-exposed portion of the switch board is covered with the cover portion. The cover portion is formed as one piece with the switch board in the state in which liquid-tightness is kept between the cover portion and the non-exposed portion, and liquid is prevented from flowing from the outside of the board unit into the non-exposed portion.

This disclosure relates to a key module including a base, a first pivotable frame, a second pivotable frame and a keycap. The base includes two assembly frames. Each of the assembly frames includes an engagement portion and two guide portions. The engagement portion is connected to and located between the guide portions. The first pivotable frame is engaged with the engagement portion by being guided by the guide portions of the assembly frames. The second pivotable frame is engaged with the engagement portion by being guided by the guide portions of the assembly frames. The keycap includes a press part, a first engagement part and a second engagement part. The first engagement part and the second engagement part are connected to the press part. The first pivotable frame is engaged with the first engagement part, and the second pivotable frame is engaged with the second engagement part.

A keycap, an illuminating keyswitch and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The illuminating keyswitch comprises a base plate, a printed circuit board, a light emitting element, a keycap and a lifting support structure. The printed circuit board is disposed on the base plate. The light emitting element electrically is connected to the printed circuit board. The keycap is disposed on the light emitting element. The lifting support structure is disposed between the base plate and the keycap. The keycap comprises a first injection layer and a second injection layer. The second injection layer covers the first injection layer. The light emitting element is configured to correspond to the first injection layer or the second injection layer. The keyswitch of the present invention covers the first injection layer through the second injection layer, so that the surface of the key cap is flat, thereby facilitating subsequent processing.
