Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0419326A1] The process according to the invention consists in rendering movable at least a part (1) of the keyboard over which the user's finger comes at least partly into bearing when he urges a key (5), in detecting at least one component (F'') of the stress (F) exerted on the keyboard by the finger during this urging and in provoking a preset displacement of the movable part (1) of the keyboard when the value of this component (F'') exceeds or has exceeded a threshold value. The invention makes it possible to restore the sensation of a conventional type push which yields under bearing. <IMAGE>
