Key module trigger element having more than one contact finger each with differing pre-travel paths

Key module for a keyboard, wherein the key module comprises:

• a key tappet;
• a module housing, wherein the module housing is formed to movably accommodate the key tappet, in order to enable a translational actuation movement of the key tappet between a rest position and an actuated position relative to the module housing;
• and
• a trigger element for triggering an actuation signal of the key module in response to the actuation movement, the trigger element having a substantially L-shape with a body and cantilevered contact fingers that extend substantially perpendicular from the body, wherein the body of the trigger element is mounted to the key tappet, wherein the trigger element is a contactor for electrically shorting contact pads of a circuit substrate of the keyboard, wherein the contact fingers of the trigger element comprises three or more elastically deformable contact fingers for contacting the contact pads after different pre-travel paths in the course of the actuation movement;
• wherein a first contact finger and a second contact finger are bent at a first angle relative to the body of the trigger element, wherein a third contact finger is bent at a second angle relative to the body of the trigger element, wherein the first angle is greater than the second angle.
