Abstract: An optical keyswitch includes a keycap, a support mechanism, and a switch module. The support mechanism is disposed below the keycap and configured to support the keycap moving upward and downward, the support mechanism comprising a first frame and a second frame, the first frame having a sliding end. The switch module includes a circuit board, an emitter, and a receiver, the emitter and the receiver are electrically connected to the circuit board, and the emitter emitting an optical signal to the receiver. When the keycap is pressed, the first frame is driven by the keycap to slide substantially parallel to the circuit board and block the optical signal with the sliding end, so the switch module is triggered to generate a triggering signal.

Abstract: A backlight module for a lighting keyboard including at least two heat-dissipating keys comprises a reflective layer, a light guide panel and a shielding sheet and has at least two penetration channels. The reflective layer, the light guide panel and the shielding sheet are stacked up and down. The penetration channels symmetrically correspond to the heat-dissipating keys respectively and penetrate the reflective layer, the light guide panel and the shielding sheet. The penetration channels are respectively provided with one light-reducing pattern at their periphery for blocking light. At least two diffusion patterns are arranged adjacent to the light-reducing patterns for guiding light to illuminate the heat-dissipating keys. The light-reducing patterns and the diffusion patterns form at least two heat-reducing optical pattern groups respectively. The heat-reducing optical pattern groups respectively corresponding to the heat-dissipating keys have identical patterns.

The adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment frame and a plurality of adjustment portions. The adjustment frame includes a plurality of ribs defining a plurality of second keyholes corresponding to the plurality of first keyholes, respectively. Each of the adjustment portions is proximate to a corresponding one of the second keyholes. Each of the keyswitches includes a tactile feedback member and is located in corresponding first and second keyholes, so that the adjustment portion corresponds to the tactile feedback member of its corresponding keyswitch. The adjustment frame is movable relative to the cover plate, so that each of the adjustment portions drives a portion of the tactile feedback member to move, to change tactile feedback of the keyswitches.
