Abstract: An input device configured to communicate with a computing device includes at least one keycap, a support mechanism operably connected to the keycap and configured to move the keycap from a first position to a second position, and a feature plate operably connected to the support mechanism. The support mechanism includes a first support and a second support. The first support and the second support are each connected to the at least one keycap and the feature plate. The first support and second support pivot to allow vertical movement of the keycap but lateral movement of the first support and second support are restricted.

Abstract: Ein Tastenmechanismus kann ein oder mehrere Schmetterlingsscharniere einschließen. Jedes Schmetterlingsscharnier schließt eine Doppelflügelgestaltung ein, die in der Lage ist, sich zwischen einer gedrückten Position und einer nicht gedrückten Position zu bewegen. Scharnierkoppelmechanismen koppeln jeweilige Arme der Flügel miteinander.

Abstract: A key mechanism including one or more butterfly hinges. Each butterfly hinge may include a double wing design operative to move between a depressed position and non-depressed position. Hinged coupling mechanisms couple respective arms of the wings together. Additionally or alternatively, a key mechanism can include one or more half-butterfly hinges. Each half-butterfly hinge includes a double wing design operative to move between a depressed position and non-depressed position. A hinged coupling mechanism couples one set of corresponding arms of the wings together, while the other set of corresponding arms are not coupled together.
