Abstract: An input device, such as a keyboard, includes one or more keys that each includes a keycap operable to move within an aperture of a frame to activate a switch and fabric disposed over the frame and keycap. A first region of the fabric is bonded to the keycap and a second region of the fabric is bonded to the frame. The first region may be an embossed region and the second region may be an unembossed region. The fabric may dampen sound from within the keyboard, such as noise related to movement of the keycap, activation of the switch, and so on. The fabric may also form a barrier that restricts passage of contaminants into the aperture and/or other portions of the input device.

Abstract translation: 诸如键盘的输入设备包括一个或多个键，每个键包括可操作以在框架的孔内移动的键帽，以激活布置在框架和键帽上的开关和结构。 织物的第一区域粘合到键帽，并且织物的第二区域粘合到框架。 第一区域可以是压花区域，第二区域可以是未压纹区域。 织物可以抑制键盘内的声音，例如与键帽的移动有关的噪音，开关的启动等等。 织物还可以形成限制污染物进入孔和/或输入装置的其它部分的阻挡层。

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.
