发明名称 Two-sided input device for a computer-related apparatus
摘要 A two-sided keyboard or other input/control device (19) has first and second keyboards (25, 29) mounted so that their respective keys face in substantially opposite directions. Each of the keyboards (25, 29) can correspond to a different need, user preference or computer application, including different language characters, different input controls, and different key configurations. The two keyboards are mounted in a single keyboard module (35) which can be flipped or rotated so that the desired keyboard faces up. In one preferred form, the keyboard module (35) plugs into a base (39). An electrical connector (51a, 51b) is provided for each of the keyboards (25, 29), so that the selected keyboard can be connected to a corresponding connector (49) on the base (39).
