Abstract
A key switch includes a base, a key cap, a link bar and a buffer member. A first hook of a first extending arm of the base and a second hook of a second extending arm of the base extend toward opposite directions respectively. An upper linking end of the link bar is movably connected to the key cap. The buffer member is made of material softer than material of the base. When the first hook and the second hook engage with a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion of the buffer member respectively, a recess structure of the buffer member is adjacent to the base to form a restraining structure. A lower linking end of the link bar is movably disposed through the restraining structure. Therefore, the key switch of the present invention has noise reduction capability.
