Said part (12) provides both a seal between the switch (13) and the external environment and the guiding of the light rays from the light source (161, 162) towards the key (15) in order to backlight said key (15). The part (12) may comprise a block (12a) between the key (15) and the switch (13), and a membrane (12b) surrounding the block (12a). The part (12) also provides a plunger function and increases the travel of the key (15). |
