Abstract: A key unit and a keyboard using the same are provided. The key unit includes a circuit board, a supporting assembly, a keycap, and a floating conductive structure. The circuit board includes a capacitance sensing circuit embedded therein, and the capacitance sensing circuit includes a pair of sensor electrodes which are spaced apart from each other. The supporting assembly is disposed on the circuit board. The keycap is moveably disposed above and spaced apart from the circuit board. The supporting assembly disposed between the keycap and the circuit board allows the keycap to be moved between a non-depressed position and a depressed position with respect to the circuit board. The floating conductive structure is disposed on the supporting assembly, and an orthogonal projection of the floating conductive structure on the circuit board overlaps with the pair of sensor electrodes.

Abstract: A pressure measuring method, applied to a pressure measuring apparatus, comprising: measuring a first pressure sensing value when the pressure measuring apparatus operates at a first scan frequency and receives a first pressure; and measuring a second pressure sensing value when the pressure measuring apparatus operates a second scan frequency and receives the first pressure. The first pressure sensing value and the second pressure sensing value are different, and a change between the first pressure sensing value and the second pressure sensing value is according to a change between the first scan frequency and the second scan frequency. The first scan frequency and the second scan frequency are different. The pressure measuring method can further comprise a calibrating mechanism to compensate the sensed pressure. By this way, the pressure sensing value can be calibrated, to solve the issue that the pressure sensing values are affected by scan frequencies.
