Abstract
Embodiments of this application provide a keyboard and an electronic device. According to the keyboard provided in the embodiments of this application, a distance between a second key and a substrate is increased by providing a groove for mounting the second key in the substrate. In addition, in a case that distances between first electrical contacts of keys and corresponding second electrical contacts are consistent, a depth of the groove is designed to be greater than a maximum deformation deflection of the second key, so that even if a corner end of the second key is bent and deformed under a pressure, a minimum distance between the second key and the substrate can still be greater than the distance between the first electrical contact of the second key and the corresponding second electrical contact.
Claims16
A keyboard, comprising:
- a substrate, and a plurality of first keys and at least one second key retractably arranged on the substrate, wherein
- a length of the second key is greater than a length of each first key, and a groove for each second key to extend into when being pressed is provided in the substrate at a position right opposite to the second key;
- and
- when the first key and the second key are in an initial state, a vertical distance between the second key and a groove bottom of the groove is greater than a vertical distance between the first key and the substrate, and a depth of the groove is greater than or equal to a maximum deformation deflection of the second key.
