Abstract
A navigation keypad is disposed in an electronic device including a case and a keypad printed circuit board disposed in the case. The navigation keypad includes an elastic support element and a body. The elastic post includes an elastic post, and a first end of the elastic post has an inclined plane. The body is passing through the case and corresponding to the elastic support element. The body includes a direction keypad portion lean against the elastic post and providing a reload force. The direction keypad portions may be formed on the body for direction control. Therefore, the number of the components and the assembling hour of the navigation keypad can be reduced. In addition, the inclined plane allows the direction keypad portion to be closely in contact with the directional elastic post. Therefore, when one direction keypad portion is pressed, other direction keypad portion would not be affected.
