A keyboard includes an upper member having a top face on which a number of pushbuttons are movably mounted and a lower member having a bottom face. Two legs are pivoted to the bottom face for being movable between a stowed position where the keyboard is allowed to lie down on for example a desk and an extended position where the keyboard is supported in an inclined manner on the desk. Two support members are pivoted to a lateral edge face of the keyboard that connects the top and bottom faces. The support members are movable between a collapsed position to an erected position where the keyboard is supported by the support members in a standing up manner with the lateral edge face substantially confronting the desk for reducing the amount of surface area of the desk occupied by the keyboard and for display purposes.
A keyboard comprising a flat body having first and second opposite major faces and at least one lateral edge face connecting the first and second major faces, at least one support member movably mounted to the body to be movable between a collapsed position and an erected position where the support member extends away from the lateral edge face for supporting the keyboard on an external surface in a standing up manner with the lateral edge face substantially confronting the external surface.
