Abstract

A keyboard includes a membrane switch circuit module, a metallic supporting plate, plural keys, an induction antenna assembly, and a signal processing unit. The induction antenna assembly includes a first partition plate, a second partition plate and an antenna layer. The first partition plate is arranged between the metallic supporting plate and the keycap of a specified key. The second partition plate is connected with the first partition plate and arranged between the first partition plate and the keycap of the specified key. The antenna layer is arranged between the first partition plate and the second partition plate. The signal processing unit is electrically connected with the antenna layer. When the antenna layer senses that an object enters the sensing range, the signal processing unit issues a sensing signal.
