Keyboard key device

A keyboard key device includes a keycap and a substrate unit. The substrate unit includes a light-emitting component, a light guide plate, and a light transmission plate. The light guide plate has first and second end surfaces, and at least one light-condensing hole. The first end surface is formed with an uneven microstructure for diffuse reflection of light rays. The light transmission plate has first and second side surfaces, and an outer reflective layer coated on the second side surface. A portion of light rays emitted from the light-emitting component and into the light transmission plate pass through the outer reflective layer, and the remainder of the light rays are reflected by the outer reflective layer.
