A keyboard includes keys protruding from an upper surface of the keyboard. The keys includes switches. The keyboard includes a printed circuit electrically coupled to the switches of the keys. The printed circuit is configured to generate signals responsive to operation of the switches of the keys. The keyboard includes a display below the upper surface of the keyboard. The display includes a visual side facing the upper surface of the keyboard. The display is configured to present content on the visual side of the display such that at least some of the content is visible through the upper surface of the keyboard.

An electronic device may include a housing including a first plate facing in a first direction and a second plate facing in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a key assembly disposed on at least part of the first plate and including a plurality of keys for inputting data by a pressing operation, wherein the key assembly includes a keycap, a printed circuit board, a support structure disposed on the printed circuit board to support the keycap and supporting a pressing operation of the keycap, a contact point portion disposed between the support structure and the printed circuit board, a movable portion coupled to the support structure in the second direction, and an actuator coupled to the movable portion and providing a force for moving the keycap in the first direction or the second direction depending on whether the actuator is activated.

According to various embodiments of the disclosure, an electronic device may include a housing including a first plate facing in a first direction and a second plate facing in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and a key assembly disposed on at least part of the first plate and including a plurality of keys for inputting data by a pressing operation, wherein the key assembly includes a keycap, a printed circuit board, a support structure disposed on the printed circuit board to support the keycap and supporting a pressing operation of the keycap, a contact point portion disposed between the support structure and the printed circuit board, a movable portion coupled to the support structure in the second direction, and an actuator coupled to the movable portion and providing a force for moving the keycap in the first direction or the second direction depending on whether the actuator is activated.

An electronic pointing device includes a housing. In addition, the electronic device includes a position transducer coupled to the housing. Further, the electronic pointing device includes a plurality of electrical switches coupled to the housing. Still further, the electronic pointing device includes a cover plate removably coupled to the housing. The cover plate includes a plurality of holes, each hole aligned with one of the plurality of electrical switches. The electronic pointing device also includes a plurality of button members. Each button member is removably disposed in one of the holes of the cover plate and disposed to engage the corresponding, aligned electrical switch to actuate that electrical switch.

The invention relates to an operating device for a motor vehicle, comprising an operating element, which can be lowered by application of force; a snap dome arranged below the operating element for applying haptic feedback to the operating element when the snap dome is deformed by means of the operating element lowering; a blocking body made of an electroactive polymer arranged below the operating element and next to the snap dome, the shape of which blocking body can be altered depending on an electrical voltage applied thereto such that lowering of the operating element is blocked or lowering of the operating element for deforming the snap dome is enabled; a detection apparatus for detecting a contact position of a finger on the operating element; a control apparatus which is set up to adjust a voltage at the blocking body depending on the detected contact position of the finger. The invention further relates to a method for operating an operating device and to a motor vehicle comprising an operating device of this kind.
