===Chiclet===
Chiclet keys are low-profile "island" keys, island keys having straight sides within holes in the upper shell of the keyboard. A few keyboards have a dip in the middle of the keys. It is common for the space bar on a chiclet keyboard to be flat.
High-profile island keys have existed since at least the 1950s.

The term "chiclet" was coined in the home-computer revolution in the late 1970's and early 1980s, taken from the "Chiclet" candy-coated chewing gum which the keys resembled.

Early chiclet keyboards (such as the one for the [[IBM PCjr Keyboards|PC jr]], Sinclair Spectrum, etc) had calculator-style keys that wobbled when pressed, but modern keyboards have stable [[scissor switch]]es. However, there do exist cheaper modern keyboards that do have low-profile chiclet keys that are ''not'' stabilised.
The first modern chiclet keyboards were on Sony ''Vaio'' laptops, but they were popularised by Apple, and are now found on many new laptops and low-profile keyboards.
