Abstract:
In some examples, a first keyboard includes a plurality of light-sensing electrodes, where individual ones of the light-sensing electrodes correspond to individual keys of the first keyboard. The first keyboard includes a microprocessor electrically coupled to individual ones of the light-sensing electrodes. A second keyboard comprised of light-transmitting material may be placed on top of the first keyboard. The second keyboard may include a plurality of keys, with individual keys including a keycap having opaque material attached to a bottom surface and a scissors mechanism to lower the opaque material when a predetermined amount of pressure is applied to the keycap. The microprocessor is configured to perform operations including determining that the opaque material is obstructing light to a first particular light-sensing electrode of the plurality of light-sensing electrodes and sending a signal indicating a selection of a first key corresponding to the first particular light-sensing electrode.

Claim (Index 1):
A physical keyboard comprising:\n a first keyboard comprising:\n a plurality of light-sensing electrodes, wherein individual ones of the light-sensing electrodes of the plurality of light-sensing electrodes correspond to an individual key of the first keyboard; and \n a microprocessor electrically coupled to individual ones of the light-sensing electrodes; and \n a second keyboard comprised of a light-transmitting material and further comprising:\n a plurality of keys, wherein individual keys of the plurality of keys comprise: \n a scissors mechanism, wherein a bottom of the scissors mechanism is attached to a base; \n a keycap attached to a top of the scissors mechanism; and \n opaque material attached to a bottom surface of the keycap; \n wherein, after the second keyboard is placed on top of the first keyboard, applying a predetermined amount of pressure on the keycap causes the scissor mechanism to move from a first height to a second height that is lower than the first height, causing the opaque material to obstruct light to a first light-sensing electrode of the plurality of light-sensing electrodes; and wherein the microprocessor is configured to perform operations comprising:\n determining that light to the first light-sensing electrode is obstructed by the opaque material for a predetermined period of time; \n measuring an amount of light received by the first light-sensing electrode after the light is obstructed; and sending, based on the amount of light received by the first light-sensing electrode, a signal indicating a selection of a first key corresponding to the first light-sensing electrode.
