System for preventing simultaneous activation in a keyboard key

A method for retrofitting a keyboard key having at least two switch activating buttons located under a keycap to prevent simultaneous activation of the at least two switch activating buttons based on a depression of the keycap during use, the method comprising:

• removing the keycap from the keyboard key;
• installing an activation prevention member having a first perimeter area and a first aperture surrounded by the first perimeter area on a first switch activating button such that the first perimeter area of the activation prevention member is located around the first switch activating button, wherein the first perimeter area is located in a path of the keycap when the keycap is depressed such that the depression of the keycap during use causes a surface of the keycap to contact the first perimeter area of the activation prevention member to prevent the first switch activating button from being fully depressed;
• installing an activation enhancement member having a second perimeter area having a thickness and a second aperture surrounded by the second perimeter area on a post extending from the keycap such that the second perimeter area is located around the post, wherein the thickness of the second perimeter area causes the activation enhancement member to contact a second switch activating button prior to the surface of the keycap when the keycap is depressed during use to decrease a depression distance required to activate the second switch activating button;
• and
• reinstalling the keypad on the keyboard key.
