Abstract
The present invention relates to a keyboard switch including a base, a supporting member, a spring, a button and an upper cover. The supporting member includes a first plate connected to the base to seal the opening, a tube extending substantially perpendicularly from a surface of the first plate, and a plurality of blocks extending substantially perpendicularly from the first plate and configured around the tube. There is a gap between the tube and the plurality of blocks. The base and the supporting member may be made of different materials and colors from the base, so that the supporting member may have a good light-shielding performance and durability; and the base may be made of a collocation of different materials and colors, and has a wide design space.
