An optical keyswitch includes a keycap, a supporting mechanism having a protrusion disposed under the keycap to support the keycap to move downward or upward, and a switch module including a circuit board, an emitter, and a receiver. The emitter and the receiver are electrically connected to the circuit board. The emitter emits an optical signal to the receiver. When the keycap is not pressed, the receiver receives the optical signal of a first intensity. When the keycap is pressed, the protrusion moves along with the keycap, and the protrusion changes the optical signal received by the receiver to have a second intensity different from the first intensity, so the switch module is triggered to generate a triggering signal.

A key structure includes a movable element, an elastic element, a light-emitting element and a pressure sensing element. The pressure sensing element is arranged between the elastic element and the light-emitting element. The elastic element is disposed on the movable element. The light-emitting element emits a light beam. The light beam is transmitted through the pressure sensing element and projected to the movable element to illuminate the key structure. While the key structure is depressed, the elastic element is pushed by the movable element. The pressure sensing element is pushed by the elastic element according to different magnitudes of the depressing force. Consequently, the key structure generates different pressure sensing signals.

A capacitive keyboard includes key caps, bridge structures, hollow, resilient domes, truncated conic springs, a frame board, a base board, and a circuit board. An upper part of the bridge structure is pivotably secured to the key cap and a lower part thereof is pivotably secured to the frame board, thereby forming a bridge type press button structure. The resilient dome is disposed on a frame board. The resilient dome is through the bridge structure to secure to the key cap. The truncated conic spring is partially disposed in the resilient dome and biases against the resilient dome. The circuit board includes capacitive sensors each with the truncated conic spring disposed thereon. Force exerted on the key cap changes capacitance of the capacitive sensor which in turn sends a key press signal which has a strength proportional to the force exerted on the key cap.
