Abstract
A keyboard device includes a substrate and several keycaps disposed on the substrate. The substrate includes a long slit and an elastic bridge connecting member. The long slit divides the substrate into a first plate having a first side edge and a second plate having a second side edge opposite to the first side edge. A gap is between the first side edge and the second side edge. The elastic bridge connecting member is connected between the first side edge and the second side edge. The first plate is movable relative to the second plate. The first side edge includes a first stopping member, the second side edge includes a second stopping member, and a certain interval is between the first stopping member and the second stopping member.

A keyboard device, comprising:
- a substrate;
- and
- a plurality of keycaps disposed on the substrate;
- wherein the substrate comprises a long slit and an elastic bridge connecting member, and the long slit divides the substrate into a first plate and a second plate;
- the first plate has a first side edge, and the second plate has a second side edge;
- the first side edge and the second side edge are opposite to each other, and a gap is between the first side edge and the second side edge;
- the elastic bridge connecting member is connected between the first side edge and the second side edge, and the first plate is movable relative to the second plate;
- wherein the first side edge comprises a first stopping member, the second side edge comprises a second stopping member, a certain interval is between the first stopping member and the second stopping member, so that the first plate and the second plate can be stopped by the first stopping member and the second stopping member when the first plate and the second plate are moved toward or away from each other.
