Abstract:
1. A keyswitch structure, comprising: a keycap for receiving a pressing operation, the keycap comprising a first vertical connection member and a first vertical-horizontal-translation mechanism; a baseplate disposed beneath the keycap, the baseplate comprising a second vertical connection member, the second vertical connection member engaged with the first vertical connection member so that the keycap is constrained to move relative to the baseplate substantially along a Z axis; a slidable part disposed between the keycap and the baseplate, the slidable part comprising a second vertical-horizontal-translation mechanism, the second vertical-horizontal-translation mechanism engaged with the first vertical-horizontal-translation mechanism so that the slidable part performs a first motion in response to a movement of the keycap toward the baseplate upon the pressing operation, the first motion comprising a displacement in a first direction; a restoring member disposed at a side of the slidable part, the restoring member providing at least a horizontal restoring force to the slidable part, when the pressing operation is discontinued, the horizontal restoring force enabling the slidable part to perform a second motion, the second motion comprising a displacement in a second direction to move the keycap away from the baseplate, the second direction being opposite to the first direction; and a frame, wherein the restoring member comprises a first magnetic part and a second magnetic part, the second magnetic part is disposed on the slidable part, and the first magnetic part is disposed on the frame.
