A keyswitch arrangement including an array of switches formed on a flexible dielectric substrate wherein each switch includes a stationary conductive contact lying in the plane of the substrate and an adjacent movable conductive contactor carried on a flap cut out of the substrate and bent along a hinged line located between the contact and the contactor. The stationary contact and movable contactor are both formed on the same side of the substrate and are normally disposed in the open switch position in confronting relationship with the flap at an acute angle to the plane of the substrate.
