The key tappet (220) comprises at least one guiding portion (326, 328) for guiding a translational actuation movement of the key tappet (220) between a rest position and an actuated position. The key tappet (220) comprises at least one tappet stop (324) for limiting the actuation movement. The key module (110) also comprises a trigger element (350) for triggering a switch signal of the key module (110) in response to the actuation movement. The trigger element (350) is attachable to the key tappet (220). The key module (110) further comprises a module housing (230), wherein the module housing (230) is integrally formed. The module housing (230) comprises at least one positioning protrusion (334) for positioning the key module (110) and a circuit substrate of the keyboard. The module housing (230) is formed to movably accommodate the key tappet (220), in order to enable the actuation movement of the key tappet (220) relative to the module housing (230). The module housing (230) comprises at least one housing stop (332) for abutment against the at least one tappet stop (324) of the key tappet (220) in the rest position of the key tappet (220). Moreover, the key module (110) comprises elastic means (340). The elastic means (340) is configured to bias the key tappet (220) into the rest position in an assembled state of the key module (110).

Keyswitch and keyboard

The present invention disclosed a keyswitch comprising a housing, a keycap, a circuit board, an elastic body, a guiding part, and a cushioning part. The housing comprises an opening. The keycap is disposed on the housing. The circuit board is disposed under the housing. The elastic body is disposed on the circuit board and is disposed between the housing and the circuit board. One end of the guiding part is disposed on the elastic body, and the other end corresponds to the opening and is connected with the keycap. The cushioning part is disposed between the guiding part and the housing, wherein the cushioning part cushions the collision between the guiding part and the housing when the keycap moves away from the housing. When the keyswitch is restored, the guiding part does not directly hit the housing. The present invention also disclosed a keyboard using the keyswitch.
