Abstract
A low profile reed keyswitch which includes a magnetically actuated reed switch. The reed switch is mounted parallel to the keyswitch base on a retaining fixture which resistively holds the body of the reed switch. The leads of the reed switch freely pass through the base where they are available for direct connection to an external circuit. A permanent magnet is carried in a plunger which is spring biased away from the reed switch. The reed switch is actuated when an operator depresses the plunger to move the magnet toward the reed switch.
