Abstract

Conformément à un mode de réalisation, la présente invention concerne un dispositif de clavier qui comporte : des touches ; un cadre ; et des parties souples pour faire pivoter les touches par rapport au cadre, les parties souples ayant chacune une direction longitudinale et comprenant des régions dans lesquelles, dans une section transversale orthogonale à la direction longitudinale de la partie souple, à la fois la longueur dans une première direction qui est orthogonale à la direction d'échelle et la longueur dans une seconde direction qui est orthogonale à la première direction augmentent de manière continue plus la section transversale est proche des deux extrémités de la partie souple.
