ABSTRACT:
A smooth keyboard with low-key height for association with a keyboard control circuit includes a top enclosure having a generally impenetrable surface, the surface comprising a plurality of keys and a seal edge. A pliable webbing surrounded the keys such that there are no gaps between the keys or between the keys and the top enclosure, the pliable webbing creating a generally impenetrable seal between the keys and between the keys and the top enclosure, the seal edge having a rib. A bottom enclosure formed as a single unit that forms a generally impenetrable surface having a seal edge, the seal edge having a trough, the trough for receiving the rib to form a generally impenetrable seal surrounding the keyboard control circuit.
