Abstract
A keyboard apparatus includes a base plate, a plurality of lifting mechanisms mounted to the base plate, and a plurality of keycaps. The keycaps are correspondingly mounted to the lifting mechanisms and are movable up and down relative to the base plate to form a pressing stroke. Each of the keycaps has a pressing surface, an assembly surface opposite to the pressing surface, and a plurality of connectors. The connectors are disposed on the assembly surface to be connected to the lifting mechanism, and a jig engagement portion protrudes from one side of at least one of the connectors. When the keycap is to be painted, the keycap is removably fixed to a painting jig by the jig engagement portion.
