[0002] As an important medium for human-computer interaction, the quality of button design directly affects the user experience. However, traditional button designs often produce greater impact when operated for a long time or frequently, which not only causes user hand fatigue but also may affect the service life of the button. To solve this problem, we have launched an innovative hollow buffer button. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the utility model provides a hollow buffer button and keyboard switch. When the user operates, the column collides with the shell. Due to the flexible characteristics and hollow design of the connecting part, the connecting part can be deformed upward, thereby playing a buffering role and improving the feedback feel of the button to the user.

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A hollow buffer button comprises a touch portion and a knocking portion which are separately connected in sequence from top to bottom, the knocking portion comprises a knocking portion body connected to the touch portion, a column which collides with a shell and is connected to the knocking portion body, a connecting portion is arranged on the top of the knocking portion body, a first groove and a second groove are dug on the left and right sides of the connecting portion, the column is connected to the bottom of the connecting portion, a clearance position is dug at the bottom of the touch portion, and the clearance position is located above the connecting portion.

[0006] The knocking part is composed of a knocking part main body connected to the touch part and a column that collides with the shell and is connected to the knocking part main body. A connecting part is arranged on the top of the knocking part main body, and a first groove and a second groove are dug on the left and right sides of the connecting part. An avoidance space is dug at the bottom of the touch part, and the avoidance space is located above the connecting part. When the user operates, the column collides with the shell. Due to the flexible characteristics and hollow design of the connecting part, the connecting part can be deformed upward, thereby playing a buffering role and improving the feedback feel of the button to the user.

[0007] Preferably, the connecting part is integrally connected to the striking part body, and the column is integrally connected to the connecting part.

[0008] The one-piece connection of the connection part to the main body of the striking part and the column means that the entire structure does not require additional welding or bonding during the production process, thus avoiding potential poor connection problems. This seamless connection method not only improves the overall quality of the product, but also ensures that each button meets the design requirements when it leaves the factory. The one-piece design enhances the overall strength of the structure, allowing the button to maintain good performance under long-term use and various environmental conditions. This design reduces stress concentration between components and improves the durability and reliability of the button.
