The utility model relates to a novel keyboard, including keyboard base, the sliding key is slidably connected on keyboard base, and the sliding key can move in the
plane parallel to keyboard base, the sliding key has an initial center position that is kept under the action of reset mechanism, a plurality of position sensors are arranged on keyboard base, and the arrangement position of a plurality of position sensors corresponds to a plurality of discrete distribution target key position when the sliding key is triggered one to one, for detecting whether the sliding key moves to the corresponding target key position and produces corresponding key position
signal, the utility model discloses the movement of a row of sliding keys 4 identifies four groups of different key positions, in its triggerable range, only rely on the push sliding key 4 movement can realize the input of corresponding character, greatly reduces the number of keys, reduces the distance of finger displacement, effectively avoids pressing wrong or pressing more at the same time, and basically uses the existing input
habit, has the advantages of improving input efficiency, greatly reducing the
wrist suspension input length, easy to use, reducing the volume of keyboard.
