Abstract

A multi-orientation key used in an electronic apparatus includes keycap﹑at least two protrusions and a supporting element. The electronic apparatus includes a plurality of contacts. At least two protrusions and supporting element are formed on a back of the keycap. The at least two protrusions are configured for pressing the respective contacts of the electronic apparatus. At least two protrusions locate at two opposite sides of supporting element. The at least two protrusions and the supporting element form a lever, the supporting element being the pivot of the lever. Whenever one side of the supporting element is pressed down, the other side will move up. Therefore, as a result caused by at least two protrusions being pressed simultaneity is avoided.
