A replaceable key structure includes a key holder and a circuit board. The key holder is disposed above a circuit board. The key holder is formed with a mounting slot for selectively receiving a first key module or a second key module therein. A magnetic sensor and a contact connector are disposed on the circuit board positionally corresponding to the mounting slot of the key holder. The first key module has a shaft, and a magnetic element disposed on the bottom of the shaft. The magnetic sensor can output an analog signal when the magnetic element approaches. The second key module has a trigger switch which has two electrical terminals disposed on the bottom surface of the second key module. When the second key module is installed in the mounting slot, the electrical terminals can be electrically connected to the contact connector.

The present disclosure provides an input device including a housing, a keyboard assembly, and a first light source. The housing comprises a body and a plurality of sidewalls. The plurality of sidewalls is disposed along the body, forming an accommodating space. The keyboard assembly is disposed in the accommodating space. The first light source is disposed in the body. The light emitted from the first light source emits from the plurality of sidewalls, creating a glowing effect on the periphery of the keyboard assembly. By configuring computer using modes corresponding to the light emitting states, it is possible for users to intuitively discriminate the using patterns.
