1. A magnetic keyboard comprising: mounting means of magnetic material having an opening therein; a key assembly including a key stem reciprocably mounted in said opening and a key top mounted at one end of said stem, said key assembly adapted to be reciprocated between a non-actuated position and an actuated position; magnetic means on said key stem and located on the opposite side of said mounting means from said key top; spacer means positioned between said mounting means and said magnetic means for providing a predetermined maximum holding force therebetween when said key is in said non-actuated position; a base member spaced from said mounting member and having an opening adapted to slidably receive one end of said key stem; a contact pad with spaced-apart contact means located on the side of said base member facing said spacer means; resilient electrically conductive means mounted on said key stem between said magnetic means and said base member and engageable with said spaced-apart contact means when said key is in its actuated position to electrically connect said spaced-apart contact means; said resilient electrically conductive means comprising a grommet having a first means for contacting said spaced-apart contact means upon initial engagement therewith to electrically connect said spaced-apart contact means, and a second means for engaging the contact pad, the bottom portion of which is spaced further from said contact pad than said first means when said key assembly is in the non-actuated position and thus only engages said contact pad upon further movement of said key after initial contact by said first means.

6. In a magnetic keyboard assembly including a key stem magnetically held in a non-actuated position, an electrically conductive rubber grommet mounted on said key stem for electrically connecting spaced-apart contacts of a contact pad in said assembly when engaged by said grommet upon depression of said key with sufficient force to overcome the magnetic force holding said key in said non-actuatable position, said grommet having a first ring means for first contacting said spaced-apart contacts upon initial engagement therewith and a center portion for further engaging said contact pad upon further depression of said key, said ring and said center portion being separated by a resilient web.

8. A magnetic keyboard comprising: mounting means of magnetic Material having an opening therein; a key assembly including a key stem reciprocably mounted in said opening and a key top mounted at one end of said stem, said key assembly adapted to be reciprocated between a non-actuated position and an actuated position; magnetic means on said key stem and located on the opposite side of said mounting means from said key top; spacer means positioned between said mounting means and said magnetic means for providing a predetermined maximum holding force therebetween when said key is in said non-actuated position; a base member spaced from said mounting member and having an opening adapted to slidably receive one end of said key stem; a contact pad with spaced-apart contact means located on the side of said base member facing said spacer means; resilient electrically conductive means mounted on said key stem between said magnetic means and said base member and engageable with said spaced-apart contact means when said key is in its actuated position to electrically connect said spaced-apart contact means; said resilient electrically conductive means comprising; a grommet having an outer ring and a center portion separated by a resilient web, the surface of said ring facing said contact pad being closer to said contact pad than the surface of said center portion facing said contact pad so that said outer ring first slidably engages said spaced apart contact means as said center portion moves toward engagement with said contact pad, the reaction force of said ring initially engaging said contact means being transmitted through said resilient web to said key stem and key top to provide the first step of a two-step touch to an operator, and engagement of said center portion with said contact pad, and to provide the second step and stop touch to the operator, said engagement of said center portion being directed to said key top independently of said resilient web whereby continued pressure by the operator on said key top is not transmitted to said ring, thereby eliminating possible damage to said spaced apart contact means by such continued pressure of the operator.
