摘要： A method for actuating a control device for a transportation vehicle with a control element. A spring-elastic element is disposed underneath the control element and is indirectly or directly moved and/or deformed by a piezo element to give an operator at least a haptic feedback during the operation of the control element. The spring-elastic element is moved toward the control element when the piezo element is actuated and is brought into working contact with the control element. This enables the spring-elastic element to be transferred from a stable initial position into an unstable deformation position when the control element is operated. When the control element is released, the spring-elastic element automatically passes from the deformation position back to the initial position. A haptic feedback is produced by the spring-elastic element in each case in response to a change from the initial position to the deformation position and vice versa.

摘要： The present invention provides a key structure, including: a key cap, a support board, an elastic element, and a support element. The elastic element includes an elastomer and an elastic piece. The elastomer has a first surface and a second surface, where the first surface includes a first protrusion portion and a second protrusion portion. The support element is connected the key cap and the support board and surrounds the elastic element. When the key cap descends, the first protrusion portion is pressed by the key cap and generates a deformation, so as to form a first pressing stroke, and subsequently, the key cap presses the second protrusion portion to enable the elastic piece to generate a deformation, so as to form a second pressing stroke.

摘要： A slim-type key structure includes a keycap, a base plate, a scissors-type connecting element, a membrane circuit board, a metal dome and a positioning plate. The keycap can be pressed. The scissors-type connecting element is located under the keycap. The membrane circuit board is disposed on the base plate. The metal dome is disposed on the membrane circuit board. In response to a pressing force, the metal dome is subjected to a compressed deformation to press the membrane circuit board. When the pressing force is released, a restoring force is generated and the metal dome is restored to an original shape in response to the restoring force. The positioning plate includes a pressing post. The pressing post is aligned with a center of the metal dome and a center of the keycap. The positioning plate is fixed on the metal dome through an adhesive.

摘要： A keyboard has a keyswitch capable of showing its movement depth. The keyswitch includes a substrate, a lifting unit, a multistage positioning component and a keycap. The lifting unit is disposed on the substrate. The multistage positioning component is disposed on the substrate and has a plurality of first actuating portions. The keycap is connected with the lifting unit and adjacent by the multistage positioning component. The keycap has a second actuating portion. The keycap is moved relative to the substrate via the lifting unit, and the second actuating portion can contact against one of the plurality of first actuating portions to generate a feedback signal.

摘要： A key structure includes a base plate, a position-limiting structure, a stabilizer bar and a keycap. The position-limiting structure is connected with and fixed on the base plate. A slot is defined by the position-limiting structure and the base plate. The stabilizer bar is connected with the keycap and pivotally coupled to the slot. The position-limiting structure includes a top stopper. The top stopper is made of soft material. As the stabilizer bar is rotated and the stabilizer bar is contacted with the top stopper, the efficacy of reducing noise is enhanced.

摘要： A key mechanism is disclosed. The key mechanism comprises a keycap, a dome support structure positioned relative to the keycap and defining an opening, an actuation mechanism coupled to the keycap, and a collapsible dome positioned in the opening of the dome support structure. The actuation mechanism is configured to movably support the keycap relative to the dome support structure. The dome comprises an upstop member configured to limit upward travel of the collapsible dome.
