    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_matrix_circuit

    A keyboard matrix circuit is a design used in most electronic musical keyboards and computer keyboards in which the key switches are connected by a grid of wires, similar to a diode matrix. For example, 16 wires arranged in 8 rows and 8 columns can connect 64 keys—sufficient for a full five octaves of range (61 notes).

  4. Push switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push_switch

    A push switch (button) is a momentary or non-latching switch which causes a temporary change in the state of an electrical circuit only while the switch is physically actuated. An automatic mechanism (i.e. a spring ) returns the switch to its default position immediately afterwards, restoring the initial circuit condition.

    The CPU uses the values of CS and IP registers to find the location of the next instruction to execute. Location of next instruction is calculated using this simple equation: Location of next instruction = (CS<<4) + (IP) This implies that after the hardware reset, the CPU will start execution at the physical address 0xFFFF0.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_switch

    A key switch (sometimes called a keyswitch or lock switch) is a key-operated switch. [1] Key switches are used in situations where access to the switch's functions needs to be restricted. [2] [3] Key switches are available as components with solder connections, and are available with a variety of ampere ratings. They may use tubular or other ...

    The IBM Model M is a large family of computer keyboards created by IBM that began in late 1983 when IBM patented a membrane buckling spring key-switch design. The main intent of this design was to halve the production cost of the Model F. [ 13 ] The most well known full-size Model M is known officially as the IBM Enhanced Keyboard.

    It was intended that this would be the Russian word for "reset" but actually was the word for "overload". [1] [2] (The correct translation would be перезагрузка ["perezagruzka"].) Additionally, the button switch was the type commonly used as an emergency stop on industrial equipment.
