Abstract
A keyboard device includes plural key structures. Each key structure includes a plate assembly, a keycap assembly, an elastic element, a connecting member and a signal generator. The plate assembly includes a membrane switch. The keycap assembly is located over the plate assembly. The elastic element is arranged between the plate assembly and the keycap assembly. The connecting member is arranged between the plate assembly and the keycap assembly. The connecting member includes a triggering part. The signal generator is installed on the plate assembly. While the keycap assembly is moved toward the plate assembly through the connecting member, the triggering part is moved downwardly to trigger the signal generator to generate a first signal. After the signal generator is triggered, the keycap assembly is continuously moved downwardly and the membrane switch is triggered to generate a second signal.
