`
`Listing of Claims:
`
`1.
`
`(Previously Presented)
`
`An electronic input device, comprising:
`
`a keycap having a set of retention clips;
`
`a substrate positioned under the keycap, the substrate defining a set of openings
`
`below the keycap;
`
`a switch configured to be actuated by movement of the keycap relative to the
`
`substrate between an unactuated state and an actuated state;
`
`a support positioned between the substrate and the keycap;
`
`a mechanical support, comprising:
`
`a pair of wings each having a pair of keycap connections pivotably connected to
`
`the set of retention clips and having a pair of support connections pivotably connected to
`
`the support;
`
`a pair of hinges connecting the pair of wings to each other along a pivot axis of
`
`the mechanical support, wherein the pair of keycap connections and the pair of support
`
`connections are spaced from the pivot axis;
`
`wherein a hinge of the pair of hinges extends into an opening of the set of openings
`
`when the keycap is in an unactuated state; and
`
`wherein a retention clip of the set of retention clips extends into another opening
`
`of the set of openings when the keycap is in an actuated state.

`
`2.
`
`(Original)
`
`The electronic input device of claim 1, wherein the pair of
`
`hinges are living hinges.
`
`3.
`
`(Original)
`
`The electronic input device of claim 1, wherein the pair of
`
`keycap connections are spaced further from the pivot axis than the pair of support
`
`connections.
`
`4.
`
`(Original)
`
`The electronic input device of claim 1, wherein each wing of
`
`the pair of wings shares an outer width dimension, the outer width dimension being
`
`parallel to the pivot axis.
`
`5.
`
`(Previously Presented)
`
`The electronic input device of claim 1, wherein
`
`the pair of keycap connections comprise a set of pins retained by the set of retention clips
`
`and the pair of support connections comprise a set of pins retained by the support.
`
`6.
`
`(Original)
`
`The electronic input device of claim 1, wherein the pair of
`
`wings collectively form a central opening in which the switch is positioned.
`
`7.
`
`(Original)
`
`The electronic input device of claim 1, wherein a wing of the
`
`pair of wings includes a pivot pin with a non—circular profile.

`
`14.
`
`(Currently Amended)
`
`An electronic device, comprising:
`
`a housing;
`
`a base plate in the housing, the base plate including a printed circuit board (PCB)
`
`having a set of openings;
`
`a set of keycaps positioned above the base plate;
`
`a set of mechanical supports operably coupled to the base plate,
`
`the set of
`
`mechanical supports positioned between the base plate and the set of keycaps, each
`
`mechanical support of the set of mechanical supports including:
`
`a pair of wings joined by a hinge, the pair of wings being pivotable relative to each
`
`other about a pivot axis extending through the hinge;
`
`wherein the pair of wings is movable between an unactuated position and an
`
`
`actuated position, the hinge being positioned in an opening of the set of openings of the
`
`PCB when the pair of wings is in the unactuated position.
`
`15.
`
`(Original)
`
`The electronic device of claim 14, wherein the hinge is
`
`positioned out of the opening of the set of openings when the pair of wings is in the
`
`actuated position.
`
`16.
`
`(Original)
`
`The electronic device of claim 14, wherein a keycap of the set
`
`of keycaps includes a top surface and the housing includes a top surface, the top surfaces
`
`of the keycap and the housing being aligned when the pair of wings is in the actuated
`
`position and being unaligned when the pair of wings is in the unactuated position.

`
`17.
`
`(Original)
`
`The electronic device of claim 14, wherein the set of keycaps
`
`is configured to at least partially extend into the set of openings when actuated.
`
`18.
`
`(Original)
`
`The electronic device of claim 14, wherein the pair of wings
`
`comprises at least one recess facing the base plate.
`
`19.
`
`(Original)
`
`The electronic device of claim 18, wherein the at least one
`
`recess is aligned with an opening of the set of openings.
`
`20.
`
`(Original)
`
`The electronic device of claim 14, further comprising a set of
`
`switches actuatable by movement of the set of keycaps relative to the baseplate.
