Keyswitch device and keyboard

Abstract

A keyswitch device includes a base plate, a hook, a scissors-like linkage mechanism, a keycap, and a blocking structure. The hook is located on the base plate. The scissors-like linkage mechanism is located on the base plate and includes a connection member. The connection member includes a shaft rotatably engaged with the hook. The keycap is engaged with the scissors-like linkage mechanism and configured to move relative to the base plate with the guidance of the scissors-like linkage mechanism. The blocking structure is located on the base plate. When the keycap is located at a highest position relative to the base plate, the blocking structure and a part of the connection member abut against each other.
