Claim Text:
1. A keycap for a keyboard, the keycap comprising: a configuration of at least one nub on the keycap that will assist the keycap to align with at least one neighboring keycap of the keyboard when the keycap returns from a suppressed position to a resting position on the keyboard, the at least one nub comprising a portion of a base of the keycap; a placement of a first nub on the keycap that results in the first nub touching a second nub on a first neighboring keycap of the keyboard when the keycap and the first neighboring keycap are both in their resting position on the keyboard; and a geometry for a third nub on the keycap comprising an angle that assists the keycap to align with a second neighboring keycap of the keyboard when the keycap returns from a suppressed position to a resting position on the keyboard while reducing friction between the keycap and the second neighboring keycap.
