ABSTRACT:
A keyswitch assembly suitable for being disposed on a computer keyboard that can prevent wobbling of its key cap when the key cap is at its elevated position. The keyswitch comprises a key cap capable of being urged to move between an elevated position and a pressed down position; a first connecting member connected to the cap and the substrate; a second connecting member connected to the cap and the substrate; and an elastic member disposed between the substrate and the key cap in such a way that it always urges the cap toward its first position. A positioning slot and a positioning pin or a guide slot and a protrusion formed on one connecting member are provided for keeping the cap from wobbling at its elevated position.
