<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a keyboard device capable of integrating a click-feeling imparting function and a switch function on a key thereby reducing the number of the parts and thus the cost for the product. <P>SOLUTION: A keyboard chassis 1 is provided with a key 2 adapted to rotate in a vertical direction above the keyboard chassis 1. When the key 2 is pressed, a click-feeling imparting member 12 imparts a click-feeling to the key 2. The click-feeling imparting member 12 comprises: a pressing projection 13 which is provided to the key 2 and has the conductivity; and an elastic member 15 which is provided to the keyboard chassis 1 in a cantilever state, which yields to the pressing projection 13 and is deformed to allow the pressing projection 13 to get over the same when the key 2 is pressed. The elastic member 15 is integrally formed of an insulation elastic portion and a conductivity elastic portion disposed alternately along a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the key 2. Accordingly when the elastic member 15 is pressed down by the pressing projection 13 having the conductivity, the conduction is established between the neighboring conductive elastic members sandwiching the insulation elastic members. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
