Abstract: A keyboard device includes a base plate, a plurality of key structures, a floating frame and a cover layer. The key structures are disposed over the base plate, and each of the key structures has a keycap. The floating frame is disposed over and separated from the base plate. The floating frame has a plurality of openings, and the key structures are disposed in the openings, respectively. The cover layer covers the keycaps of the key structures and the floating frame and is in direct or indirect contact with an upper surface of the keycap of each of the key structures and an upper surface of the floating frame. When the keycap of one of the key structures and the cover layer thereover are pressed to bottom, the floating frame surrounding the one of the key structures is pulled by the cover layer and shifted.

Abstract: A keyswitch includes a base, a keycap, a lift mechanism, a touch circuitry portion, and an outer covering layer. The keycap is connected to the base through the lift mechanism so as to move up and down relative to the base. The touch circuitry portion is disposed on the top surface of the keycap. A connection circuitry portion extends from the touch circuitry portion. The outer covering layer covers the touch circuitry portion and at least a portion of the connection circuitry portion. Thereby, the keyswitch can provide touch function without excessively increasing the whole thickness of the keyswitch. A keyboard includes a plurality of the keyswitches and therefore can provide touch function without excessively increasing the whole thickness of the keyboard.

Abstract: A keyboard with light-emitting and touch functions includes a keyswitch, a backlight module having a light source and a light guide plate, a membrane, a capacitive touch sensing sheet disposed on the membrane and the light guide plate, and a board. The keyswitch includes a cap and a support mechanism movably connected to the cap. Light of the light source is incident into the light guide plate and is emitted toward the cap. The membrane has a switch and is selectively disposed on or under the backlight module. The board is disposed under the backlight module and the membrane and has first and second connection members. The first and second connection members pass through the membrane, the light guide plate and the capacitive touch sensing sheet to be movably connected to the support mechanism, so as to make the cap movable downward relative to the board for triggering the switch.

Abstract: A waterproof film includes a film reinforcing layer, a light shielding layer, a texture layer, and a pattern. The light shielding layer is combined under the film reinforcing layer and forms a plurality of protruding structures cooperatively with the film reinforcing layer by a hot pressing process. The texture layer is attached to a release film and then formed on a top surface and a side surface of each protruding structure after a hot pressing process is performed and the release film is then peeled. The pattern is formed on the texture layer or the light shielding layer.
