Abstract: A keyboard device comprises: a main body, a cover and an interlocking unit. An outer surface of the main body has a keyboard pattern partitioned into protruding keypad structures by a plurality of shallow grooves. The cover extends from one side of the main body, can be bent toward and cover the keyboard pattern, and includes at least one fold line partitioning the cover into a support portion and a carrying portion. Two sides of the support portion respectively connect to the main body and the carrying portion. The carrying portion is free to be bent along the fold line. The holding unit is disposed on the carrying portion. When the holding unit is bent along the fold line and the lower edge of the interlocking unit moves toward the main body and abuts a stopper unit thereon, the holding unit is slanted with respect to the outer surface.

Abstract: A thin key structure includes a supporting module, a circuit module disposed on the supporting module, a frame and a metal dome disposed on the circuit module, a pressable module, and a guiding portion. The supporting module has a supporting plate and a protrusion disposed on the supporting plate. The supporting plate has a plane defined therein, the plane defines a perpendicular central axis, and the protrusion is arranged on the central axis. The circuit module has a protruding segment formed by the protrusion. The metal dome is arranged in the frame, and has a contact portion arranged on the central axis. The guiding portion arranged on the central axis and is disposed between the contact portion and the pressable module. The metal dome is pressed by the guiding portion to move the contact portion along the central axis and selectively abuts the circuit module.
