    Abstract: An embodiment of the invention provides a method of character recognition wherein user input is received with a sensor. The user input includes movement on a first axis and movement on a second axis. The receiving of the user input also includes determining the amount of pressure of the movement on the second axis of the key, and/or the duration of the movement on the second axis of the key. A processor matches the movement on the first axis of the key with a first character and the movement on the second axis of the key with a second character. The first character followed by the second character are displayed when the amount of pressure of the movement on the second axis of the key is above a threshold pressure and/or the duration of the movement on the second axis of the key is above a threshold duration.

    Abstract: A button, knob or control key with an etchable support plate which is engraved on the backside with a fine symbol by laser, erosion or mechanical engraving, which only cuts into the material of the support plate, but not through the support plate. The backside of the support plate is optionally coated. A foil is applied on the laminated layer and affixed thereto. The front side of the support plate is treated with a material-removing substance. The material removal with the material-removing substance is performed until the engraving extending into the support plate is at least partially or completely exposed on the front side. Application of a protective layer to the front side of the support plate from which the material was removed. A function symbol is provided on the button such that it can be backlit. It is engraved in a fine line width providing a sharp optical definition erosion, mechanical engraving.

    Abstract: A cushioning means for placement on a computer keyboard is provided for reducing the discomfort of a typist using a keyboard and to personalize the keyboard for a typist. A pad may be attached or applied to one or more keytops of a conventional keyboard, each pad being of a self-adhesive reusable translucent gel material. The pads may be attached to the individual keys without a separate adhesive layer. The pads are translucent allowing the key identifier to remain unobstructed to a user. The pads may be used not only to cushion the keyboard, but to allow a user to personalize or decorate her keyboard. The pads may be of an assortment of colors and predetermined sizes in order to fit over the different keyboard keys. The pads may also be used to cushion or decorate other office devices including a computer mouse and a telephone keypad.

    Abstract: A key top of a key switch is formed so as to extend in a horizontal direction, not in a vertical direction. On a rear surface of the key top, a reinforcing member that horizontally extends is mounted on one end portion in the vertical direction and a torsion bar that horizontally extends is rotatably supported on the other end portion in the vertical direction. When the key top is pressed against a biasing force of an elastic member, the reinforcing member prevents the key top from deforming.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a keyboard which can take an optional metal support for strengthening its structure. It comprises a cover plate with a plurality of vertical housings, a base plate mounted on the cover plate with a plurality of protruding pads installed under the vertical housings of the cover plate, a plurality of keys that are vertically and movably installed within the vertical housings, a membrane installed between the cover plate and the base plate comprising a plurality of switches. When any key is depressed, the underlying switch is pressed between the plunger of the key and the underlying protruding pad, and generates a corresponding sensing signal. The keyboard may also comprise a metal support installed between the cover plate and the base plate for increasing structural strength.
