ABSTRACT:
A control key device includes a casing having a generally dome-shaped portion provided at an arbitrary part of the casing, the dome-shaped portion having a top surface and a hole provided at a central part of the dome-shaped portion, a substrate provided within the casing and having a plurality of electrical contacts, a resilient member provided on the substrate and having a plurality of bulges at positions corresponding to the electrical contacts of the substrate, each of the bulges having an electrically conductive portion which makes electrical contact with a corresponding one of the electrical contacts when the bulge is resiliently deformed, a contact pressing member provided on the resilient member and having a plurality of legs at positions corresponding to the bulges of the resilient member, and a key secured on the contact pressing member via the hole in the dome-shaped portion of the casing, the key having a home position and a tilted position. One of the legs of the contact pressing member resiliently deforms a corresponding one of the bulges of the resilient member to achieve electrical contact between the electrically conductive portion of the corresponding one bulge and a corresponding one of the electrical contacts of the substrate in the tilted position of the key, and the key has a sliding surface which makes sliding contact with the top surface of the dome-shaped portion of the casing when tilting from the home position to the tilted position.
