part of a common circuit 133 for each of the keys 160 are disposed about the lower peripheral edge of each key 160 each of the primary contact points 132 are spaced slightly apart from a secondary contact point 134 each secondary contact point 134 is connected to a resistor r 1 or r 2 etc all around the periphery of the key 160 each resistor r 1 of each key 160 is further connected in parallel to every other resistor r 1 as shown in fig6 each combined resistor r 1 r 1 r 1 is then in electrical communication with a proper computer circuit processing unit 80 which itself is in communication with a monitor 82 a similar circuit is arranged for each other resistor r 2 r 3 etc around the lower periphery of each key 160 furthermore in a still further embodiment the proportionally conductive foam or strain gages may be similarly connected in a parallel arrangement with similar effect or they may be connected to a logic device not shown which senses the change in resistance of the keys and converts that output to a corresponding digital signal which in turn moves the cursor on the monitor 82 thus a computer operator may effect cursor positioning on the monitor 82 in addition to the standard data generated when a key 160 is pressed in the u201c usual u201d way which may include being mounted on a support post 162 and connected to its own circuit 164 by skewedly pressing a each of a plurality of keys 160 in a generally common direction to effectuate simultaneous energization of corresponding components r 1 for each key.
