A switch circuit board and frame members are respectively cut away from a large, original frame material and an elongate, original frame material in accordance with the desired arrangement of key switches. The keyboard can therefore be produced by a minimum number of designing and producing steps. Moreover, it is not necessary to prepare many different kinds of parts beforehand. The keyboard is particularly suitable for many kinds, small quantity production that produces keyboards with different specifications to order.
