Abstract

Es wird ein Tastenmodul (120) für eine Tastatur vorgestellt. Das Tastenmodul (120) weist eine Führungseinrichtung (230) zum Führen einer Bewegung des Tastenmoduls (120) bei einer Betätigung, zumindest ein Federelement (240) zum Bereitstellen einer Rückstellkraft bei der Betätigung des Tastenmoduls (120), ein Trägerelement (250) zum Tragen der der Führungseinrichtung (230) und eine Schalteinheit auf. Die Schalteinheit weist ein Gehäuse (270) und eine zumindest partiell in dem Gehäuse (270) angeordnete Kontakteinrichtung (280) zum Herstellen eines elektrischen Kontakts bei einer Betätigung des Tastenmoduls (120) auf. Die Kontakteinrichtung (280) weist ein Festkontaktstück mit einem ersten Kontakt und einen Kontaktgeber mit einer einen zweiten Kontakt tragenden ersten Federlasche, einer zweiten Federlasche zum Erzeugen eines Betätigungsgeräuschs und/oder zumindest einem Betätigungsabschnitt auf. Der Kontaktgeber ist einstückig ausgeformt.
