気吸引力により決定される。A conventional keyboard device will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing a key input mechanism of a conventional keyboard device. In the figure, a key 1 is connected via a spring 2 to a hammer 35 made of a magnetic material. The hammer 35 is attracted to the permanent magnet 33 and is held above and facing the electrode 7 on the printed circuit board 8 covered with the piezoelectric sheet 6. When the key 1 is pressed, the hammer 35 separates from the permanent magnet 33 due to the repulsive force of the spring 2 and strikes the electrode 7 through the piezoelectric sheet 6. At this time, the voltage instantaneously generated in the piezoelectric sheet 6 is applied to the electrode 7 as an input signal. Further, the depressing force necessary to press the key 1 and the restoring force of the key after pressing the key are determined by the magnetic attraction force of the permanent magnet 33.

者によっては疲労を増すという欠点があった。Therefore, in the conventional keyboard device, since the magnetic attraction force that attracts the hammer 35 is constant due to the use of a permanent magnet, the strength of the depressing force of the key 1 is adjusted depending on the strength of the depressing force of the user. This has the drawback of not being adjustable and increasing fatigue for some users.
