Abstract: A keycap for a luminous keyboard comprises a base and a cap made of a transparent material. The base is provided with a first stage, and the top surface thereof is transparent. The cap covers the first stage, and is fixedly connected with the base. The cap is provided with a light-shielding layer, and the surface of which and opposite to the first stage is engraved with a light-transmitting area by laser. A manufacturing method for the same is described. Using the disclosed keycap and the manufacturing method thereof, the operator can accurately and quickly operate the keyboard in a dark environment, making the usage more convenient. As the light-transmitting area in the shape of characters or patterns is not likely to be rubbed or erased, the lifetime of the keycap is prolonged.

Abstract: A luminous keycap includes a base made of a light-transmitting material and a transparent cover, wherein the base is provided with a first light-shielding layer and the top surface thereof is provided with a first light-transmitting area, and the inner surface of the cover is provided with a second light-shielding layer. The surface of the second light-shielding layer directly opposite to the first light-transmitting area is engraved with a second light-transmitting area. The cover is correspondingly fixed onto the base. The method of manufacturing the same is also described. The keycap and the manufacturing method thereof achieve the goal that its user can accurately and swiftly use the keyboard in a dark environment. It solves the problem that the user often touches characters and/or patterns so often that they are worn away. It has a better touch, and the keycaps have a longer lifetime.
