A keypad with increased refractive index includes a light-guiding elastic element, an optical refractive layer and at least one light-emitting element. The optical refractive layer is applied on an upper surface of the light-guiding elastic element. The light-emitting element is provided on one side of the light-guiding elastic element. The refractive index of air is defined as a real number x. The refractive index of the light-guiding elastic element is defined as a real number y. The refractive index of the optical refractive layer is defined as a real number z. The refractive index z is larger than the refractive index x. Since the optical refractive layer is applied on the light-guiding elastic element and the refractive index of the optical refractive layer is different from that of the light-guiding elastic element, the angle of total reflection of the light in the light-guiding elastic element can be changed.
