A mouse device includes a casing, a key module and a stopping assembly. The key module includes a switch and a keycap. When the keycap is in a pressable state and the keycap is pressed in response to an external force, the keycap is moved toward the switch to trigger the switch. The stopping assembly is disposed within the casing and aligned with the key module. The stopping assembly includes a movable block, a push block and a stopper. While the movable block is pushed and moved in response to a pushing force, the push block is correspondingly moved. While the push block is moved, the stopper is pushed by the push block, and the stopper is moved toward a region between the keycap and the switch. When the keycap is stopped by the stopper, the keycap is switched from the pressable state to a non-pressable state.

A switch to be attached to a panel having an opening in a surface includes: a stationary member to be attached to the panel; a movable member to be placed at a distance from the panel, the movable member having a manipulation surface separated from the panel in the opening with a gap intervening between the manipulation surface and the panel, the manipulation surface being exposed from the opening; and a vibration element disposed between the stationary member and the movable member, the vibration element vibrating the movable member.

The operating device (10) for a vehicle is provided with a housing (12) having a front wall (14). At least one operating element (18) is arranged on the front wall (14) and can be manually actuated starting from a rest position for the purpose of entering a command or activating a function. The operating element (18) is associated with a switch (32) having a switching member (36) on which the operating key acts during manual operation. Furthermore, a support element (24) is arranged in the housing (12) at a distance from the operating element (18), on which support element (24) the switch (32) associated with the operating element (18) is arranged, the support element (24) having a bending bar (40) with an upper side (42) facing the operating element (18) and a lower side (44) facing away from the upper side (42), and the switch (32) being arranged on the bending bar. Finally, the operating device (10) is provided with an adjustment member (46) acting on the bending bar (40) for adjusting the bending position of the bending bar (40) relative to the operating element (18) in its resting position and for maintaining and thus stabilizing the bending bar (40) in its adjusted bending position when the operating element (18) acts on the switching member (36). The adjustment member (46) comprises a threaded sleeve (54) with an internal thread (56) and a self-tapping adjustment screw (48) with a threaded shaft (50), wherein the internal thread (56) of the threaded sleeve (54) and the external thread (52) of the threaded shaft (50) of the self-tapping adjustment screw (48) have the same or substantially the same pitch.

Low-profile keysets and input devices having such low-profile keysets are described. In one example, the input device includes a support structure having a first and second surface; a bezel having a first and second surface, wherein the first surface of the bezel is adjacent to the first surface of the support structure, and the bezel comprises at least one opening; at least one key cap positioned within the at least one opening of the bezel, wherein each key cap is configured to move between a first and second position to trigger a function of the input device; and a fabric cover layer positioned adjacent to the second surface of the bezel, such that the bezel and the at least one key cap are positioned between the fabric cover layer and the support structure, the fabric cover layer is only adhered to the second surface of the bezel.

A switch assembly including a socket, a top cap, and an intermediate cart located in the socket. The intermediate cart is slidable with the socket. The top cap is in a spherical or pivot engagement with the intermediate cart. An activation force of the sliding movement is lower than an activation force of the spherical or pivot movement.

One embodiment provides a device, including: a mechanical keyboard; a key state component mechanically co-located with each of a plurality of keys of the mechanical keyboard, wherein the key state component changes state between at least actuated and unactuated; a processor; a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to: detect an input to change a state of the key state component for at least one of the plurality of keys; and change, responsive to the input, the state of the key state component for the at least one of the plurality of keys. Other aspects are described and claimed.

A haptic generator in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure may include a driving signal generator and a haptic device. The driving signal generator may be configured to receive a sound signal and generate a driving signal including an impact driving signal and an inertia driving signal. The haptic device may be configured to generate impact vibrations pursuant to the impact driving signal and generate rotational inertia vibrations pursuant to the inertia driving signal, the rotational inertia vibrations being different from the impact vibrations. The impact driving signal and the inertia driving signal may be generated based on different properties of the sound signal.
