A keyboard device includes a supporting plate, a keycap, a stopping structure and a switching module. The stopping structure is arranged between the supporting plate and the keycap, and located near an outer edge of the keycap. The switching module is located under the keycap and connected with the stopping structure. While the switching module is moved relative to the supporting plate in a second axial direction, the stopping structure is correspondingly moved. When the switching module is in a first status, the stopping structure is located near the outer edge of the keycap. When the switching module is in a second status, the stopping structure is moved to a position under the first outer edge of the keycap to stop the movement of the keycap. |

A rocker switching control element for electrical sliding roofs on a vehicle overhead panel has an actuation rocker formed as a switch with switching positions and is arranged on a substantially planar control panel. The actuation rocker is recessed such that it does not project beyond the panel edge region. The transition between the panel edge region and the actuation rocker is formed with the panel edge region forming over a first width a goblet-like edge set back by a first depth, and an adjoining edge, separated by a gap of width, of the actuation rocker, which edge is recessed by more than the first depth in the non-actuated state and set further back continuously over a second width by a second depth. The recess is shaped overall such that inadvertent actuation of the actuation rocker by an object significantly larger than a human finger is prevented. |

Configurable buttons for electronic devices such as portable electronic devices are provided. A configurable button may have a button member that moves relative to a device housing when it is desired to activate a switch. The button may have an associated touch sensor. The touch sensor may detect when a user's finger touches a particular portion of the button member. Contact with only this portion of the button member is generally inadvertent, so an actuator may be used to prevent or otherwise restrict motion of the button relative to a device housing. This prevents inadvertent activation of the button when a user is manipulating portions of an electronic device such as clip or lid, but does not intend to depress the button. |

An input device includes a resistor group, an input terminal, a plurality of switches, and a control unit. The resistor group includes a plurality of resistors connected in series. The input terminal is connected to one end of the resistor group. Each switch of the plurality of switches has one end connected to each resistor of the plurality of resistors at an opposite side viewed from the input terminal and the other end grounded. The control unit detects an applied voltage to the input terminal when the plurality of switches are all turned off. Furthermore, the control unit detects an output voltage from the input terminal when any of the plurality of switches is turned on, and detects a switch that is turned on among the plurality of switches based on a voltage ratio of the output voltage to the applied voltage. |

A device disclosed herein reduces inadvertent activation of buttons mounted on edges of an electronic device. The button moves around an axis of rotation proximate to, and parallel with, the adjacent edge of the device. Thus, inadvertent pressure on an edge of the button adjacent to the edge of the device will not inadvertently activate the button. Additionally, the presence of the axis of rotation proximate to the edge maintains a desired reveal. |
