Abstract

A keyswitch structure includes a base having a positioning means, an cover combined with the base, a plunger with an cam portion movably coupling with the cover relative to the base, a restoring unit disposed between the base and the plunger to provide a restoring force to enable the plunger to move along a direction away from the base, a tactile feedback member having a positioning portion positioned by the positioning means and an extending arm extending across a moving path of the cam portion, and an adjusting unit being movable to drive the positioning portion to shift, so that the tactile feedback member has a first deformation or a second deformation, and a pressing force required for the cam portion to pass the extending arm when the plunger moves toward the base is changed.
