42 keep separation.For example, as shown in the partial enlarged view of Figure 1B, when release keycap 10 and 32 moving contact of extension is buffered
When portion 42, the ora terminalis 31 and the upright projection of buffer part 42 towards bottom plate 20 of magnetic part 30 be not be overlapped.In other words, magnetic part 30 and magnetic
Property portion 22 when contacting (when press-key structure 1 is located at non-pressing position), magnetic part 30 preferably only extension 32 and buffer part 42 in Z
Axis direction has contact, and the other parts of magnetic part 30 do not compress buffer part 42 in Z-direction, such as magnetic in the X-axis direction
Preferably with gap between the ora terminalis 31 and buffer part 42 of part 30, extension 32 and buffer part 42 can be promoted whereby in Z-direction
The control of amount of interference, but not limited to this.It, also can be by variation magnetic part tail end 303 herein it should be noted that in other embodiments
Design so that the ora terminalis 31 of magnetic part 30 can be locally be overlapped with buffer part 42 in the Z-axis direction, but the ora terminalis 31 of magnetic part 30 and
Buffer part 42 maintains gap, that is, only extension 32 contacts buffer part 42, can also promote magnetic part tail end 303 and buffer part 42
In the control of the amount of interference of Z-direction.
