One end of the wire 2 is fixed in the keycap 1, and the other end of the wire 2 is connected to the circuit board 5. The base 3 is arranged on the lower surface of the keycap 1, the pointing rod unit 4 is arranged on the lower surface of the base 3, and the pointing rod unit 4 is arranged on the upper surface of the circuit board 5. In this embodiment, the keycap 1 and the wire 2 are made by injection molding to form a whole, which simplifies the assembly process of the rocker structure 100 of the present invention and reduces the manufacturing cost of the rocker structure 100 of the present invention.

[0027] See also Figures 3 to 6 , the keycap 1 is provided with a head 11, a fixing part 12 and a first positioning hole 13. The middle of the lower surface of the head 11 extends downward to form the fixing part 12. One end of the wire 2 is integrally formed in the fixing part 12. In a specific implementation, one end of the wire 2 extends into the head 11. The fixing part 12 is arranged in the corresponding mechanism of the base 3. The keycap 1 is provided with the first positioning hole 13 that passes through the lower surface of the fixing part 12. The top end of the pointing rod unit 4 is fixed in the first positioning hole 13 to achieve the positioning and retention of the pointing rod unit 4 and the keycap 1. The keycap 1 is made of conductive soft plastic so that the head 11 and the fixing part 12 of the keycap 1 have conductive capabilities.
