摘要: The present invention relates to a keyboard, including a base plate, a switch circuit board, a connecting element, a keycap, and a connecting shaft. The switch circuit board is disposed on the base plate, the connecting element is located on the switch circuit board and is separately connected to the keycap and the base plate, the connecting shaft is disposed on the connecting element and extends from the connecting element to be connected to the base plate. When the keycap is pressed and the connecting element swings, the connecting shaft rotates and is separately in contact with the base plate and the switch circuit board, so as to weaken the shake of the connecting element. Therefore, the operation stability of the keyboard can be improved.

摘要: A key structure includes a circuit board, a triggering part and an elastic element. The elastic element includes an upper support portion, a lower support portion, an upper elastic portion and a lower elastic portion. The lower support portion is located beneath the upper support portion and connected to a peripheral region of the circuit board. The upper elastic portion is connected between the triggering part and the upper support portion. The lower elastic portion is connected between the upper support portion and the lower support portion. The lower elastic portion includes a first section and a second section connected to each other. The first section is connected to the upper support portion. The second section is connected to the lower support portion. There is a vacant space between the second section and the circuit board.

摘要: A keycap forming method includes the following steps. Firstly, a stabilizer bar is formed through a first male mold and a first female mold according to an injection molding process, and a keycap is formed through a second male mold and a second female mold according to the injection molding process. Then, the stabilizer bar is fixed on the first male mold, and the keycap is fixed on the second female mold. Then, the first male mold and the second female mold are stacked on each other, so that the stabilizer bar and the keycap are combined together. Then, the first male mold and the second female mold are separated from each other, so that the stabilizer bar is detached from the first male mold. By using the keycap forming method, it is not necessary to manually assemble the stabilizer bar with the keycap.
