KEYBOARD AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a keyboard and electronic equipment using it with its assemblability improved with the number of components reduced, and furthermore, with key-pressing pressure made smaller with less unevenness, therefore doing without the need for making a skirt part in an eccentric structure. SOLUTION: The keyboard having key tops 14 each supported in free turning by a case 9 is provided with shaft centers 13 each axially supporting the key top 14, a plurality of fixing parts 11, 12 arranged at the case 9 for fixing the shaft center 13 to the case 9, claw parts 18, 19 arranged at the key top 14 for axially supporting it to the shaft center 13. The shaft center 13 axially supports a plurality of key tops 14, and either a contact part 21 of a pressing part 20 in contact with a pressed part 6 or a contact part of the pressed part in contact with the pressing part is formed either in a semispherical or a semicylindrical shape.
