ABSTRACT:
A low profile keyboard which can be deployed from a storage position and once deployed have the feel and travel of prior art keyboards using scissor type wobble control. An embodiment of the invention reduces the storage thickness in prior art designs by translating the flexible dome to a position under the keycap when in the stowed position and back to beneath the actuator mechanism when in the deployed position. Thus in the deployed position the space for the key travel and the dome does not contribute to the overall thickness of the keyboard.
