Abstract: A keyboard device includes a base plate, a membrane circuit board and a key. The key includes a keycap, a connecting assembly, a first stabilizer bar and a second stabilizer bar. The connecting assembly is connected between the keycap and the base plate. The first stabilizer bar and the second stabilizer bar are connected between the keycap and the connecting assembly. While the keycap is moved upwardly or downwardly relative to the base plate, the first stabilizer bar and the second stabilizer bar are swung to stabilize the key. Since the first stabilizer bar and the second stabilizer bar are connected between the keycap and the connecting assembly, the first stabilizer bar and the second stabilizer bar will not readily collide with or knock on the base plate. During the operation, the generated noise is reduced. Consequently, the operating comfort to the user is enhanced.

Abstract: A key structure includes a base, a triggering element, a keycap and a scissors-type connecting element. The keycap is disposed over the triggering element. When an external force is applied to the keycap, the triggering element is pushed by the keycap. The scissors-type connecting element is connected with the keycap and the base. The scissors-type connecting element includes a first frame and a second frame. The first frame includes a keycap post, a base post and a bulge. The bulge is externally extended from a first end of the first frame and located at a side of the keycap post, and the bulge is protruded from a sidewall of the first frame. Due to the bulge, the structured strength of the keycap post is enhanced.
