In a capacitive key for use in a keyboard, an operator depresses a plunger which alters the separation between the plates of a capacitor, thereby altering its capacitance. It is desirable to provide plunger overtravel which permits further depression of the plunger after the capacitor has been altered. In the present invention a portion of the movable capacitor plate is formed into a spring which elastically deforms after the capacitor has been altered, to permit overtravel of the plunger. |
