Abstract: A keycap and a press key structure along with a keyboard using the same are disclosed. The keycap, being comprised of a top and a bottom having a concave-convex structure formed thereon, is structured for allowing light to pass therethrough. There is a connecting component sandwiched between the keycap and a substrate in a manner that it is pivotally connected to the two in respective for allowing the keycap to move up and down in relative to the substrate. Moreover, there is at least a light source being disposed between the keycap and the substrate for projecting light to the concave-convex structure on the keycap? bottom and out of the keycap through the top thereof after being uniformly scattered by the concave-convex structure. Thus a press key is constructed. It is noted that by arranging a plurality of the aforesaid press keys in an array, a keyboard is constructed.

Abstract: A keyboard includes a keycap, a pivot structure, a base and an X-structure. The keycap includes a bottom surface, a first edge and a second edge. The pivot structure includes two first engaging portions and two second engaging portions. The first engaging portions are disposed on the bottom surface and have a first distance away from the first edge. The second engaging portions are respectively disposed corresponding to the first engaging portions and have a second distance away from the second edge. The base is disposed under the keycap. One end of the X-structure is connected to the pivot structure of the keycap and the other end of the X-structure is movably connected to the base, thus, the keycap moves upward and downward corresponding to the base.

Abstract: A press-key structure is disclosed, which comprises: a keycap, configured with a bottom surface; a substrate, being disposed under the keycap; and a pressing part, being arranged between the keycap and the substrate. In an exemplary embodiment, the pressing part further comprising: a frame, disposed on the bottom surface to be used for sustaining a pressing force from the keycap directly; and a plurality of supporting legs, being arranged surrounding the edges of the frame while extending outwardly from the same; wherein by connecting the outward-extending ends of the plural supporting legs to the substrate, the frame is supported and propped up by a specific height.

Abstract: A key mechanism is disclosed. A base plate includes a first pivoting portion and a second pivoting portion opposing the first pivoting portion. A keycap is disposed on the base plate and includes at least one engaging portion. A linking bar is connected between the base plate and the keycap and includes a first body portion, two second body portions, and two curved portions. The first body portion is rotatably engaged in the engaging portion of the keycap. The second body portions are connected to the first body portion and oppose each other. The curved portions are connected to the second body portions and pivot to the first and second pivoting portions of the base plate, respectively.
