An array of key members for inputting data or signals to an electronic device. Each key member has a convex outer surface including a plurality of outwardly converging facets. Each facet has corresponding alphanumerical characters or other indicia and is associated with a single switching element corresponding to alphanumerical characters or other indicia. Elements responsive to the application of pressure on each of the facets actuates a corresponding one of the switching elements. The array of key members comprises two or more aligned key members intersecting with two or more other aligned key members at at least one intersection. A finger base is located at the at least one intersection between adjacent key members and a single facet of the adjacent key members are located at each corner of the intersection.
