The present invention discloses a keycap for keys of a keyboard device, wherein the keys are configured on the keyboard, and the keycap is configured on a key body. The keycap includes: a top fabric layer, a keycap body including an upper surface outline, and a molding film. The top fabric layer is used for engraving to have a symbol thereon to transmit light therethrough, wherein each symbol indicates a specific keycap. The molding film is disposed between the top fabric layer and the keycap body to render the top fabric layer in a specific shape matching with the upper surface outline. In the present invention, the problems with the symbols of the keycaps becoming dislocated, yellowed and deformed when the keycaps are manufactured with currently available techniques can be overcome, and users can clearly see the symbols on a backlit keyboard.

Key device

A key device includes a substrate having an assembling area, a keycap, and a restoring member. A pivot coupling member and an elastic arm are provided in the assembling area. The pivot coupling member has a pivot axis, and the elastic arm is extending in a direction parallel to the pivot axis. The elastic arm includes a limiting member protruding out of the substrate. The keycap is disposed above the assembling area. A connection arm is extending from the keycap and includes a pivot portion pivoted with the pivot coupling member, so that the keycap is swingable relative to the substrate. The keycap further includes a limiting groove for detachably fitted with the limiting member. The restoring member is disposed between the substrate and the keycap. The restoring member is adapted to provide a restoring force for swinging the keycap relative to the substrate.

Keyboard structure

A keyboard structure and assembling method thereof are provided. The keyboard structure includes a baseplate, a keycap and a frame having a hook body. The keycap can be inserted into the frame and restricted by the hook body, so that the range of movement of the keycap is restricted. The keycap cannot be separated from the frame so that the coupling of the frame and the baseplate is not interfered by the keycap. Thus, the present invention can effectively simplify the assembling process of the keyboard.

A cap structure is combined with a lifting mechanism to be movable between a pressed position and a non-pressed position. The cap structure includes a first circuit, a second circuit, a flexible circuit board and a cap having a top surface, a bottom surface and an engaging structure. The engaging structure protrudes from the bottom surface for engaging with the lifting mechanism. The first circuit is laid out on the top surface for connecting to a sensing device or a display device attached on the top surface. The second circuit is laid out on the bottom surface and avoids the engaging structure. The second circuit passes through the cap to be connected to the first circuit. The flexible circuit board is connected to the second circuit for performing signal transmission of the sensing device or the display device via the first and second circuits.
