Type of modular keyboard for desktop computers

Abstract

A new kind of module keyboard for desktop computers that separates keyboard components into two groups. One group of components becomes a detachable and user-serviceable module, while the other group stays as the base module. The detachable module contains essentially the keycap portion that contributes to more malfunctioning of present day keyboard. The base module contains the electrical circuitry membrane and PCB that has longer durability than the keycap portion. Depending on applications, the detachable module can be further broken into more sub-modules. Keyboards manufactured following present invention are modular in nature, and are conducive to reducing the costs for keyboard services and exchanges, costs for curing future environmental hazards and costs for fitting suitable user keycaps for swapping among different languages and computer applications.
