Abstract: The present invention relates to a luminous keyboard, including a light emitting module capable of generating a beam, keys, and a deckle board. The key includes a keycap. The deckle board is located between the key and the light emitting module, and includes through holes and inclined-surface walls. The keycap stretches into a corresponding through hole. Due to disposition of the inclined-surface wall, the width of an upper end of the through hole is less than the width of a lower end of the through hole. Therefore, the inclined-surface wall can partially cover the keycap, to prevent the beam from leaking out through the through hole. Therefore, the luminous keyboard of the present invention can alleviate a halo phenomenon.
