The invention relates to a nested key assembly (101) that can for example be used in a remote-control, a mobile phone or the like. In general, the key assembly comprises at least one inner-key (130; 140) surrounded by an outer-key (120; 130), wherein the inner-key (130; 140) comprises at least one flexible arm (132; 142) that extends below the outer-key (120; 130) and that directly or indirectly touches a carrier structure (110, 150). In a preferred embodiment, the key assembly comprises an “OK-key”(140) surrounded by a “cursor-key”(130), which in turn is surrounded by a “diamond-key”(120). The OK-key (140) comprises flexible arms (142) that extend below the cursor-key, while the cursor-key (130) comprises flexible arms (132) that extend below the diamond-key (120).
