Abstract
A keyboard device includes a supporting plate, a keycap, a stopping structure and a switching module. The stopping structure is arranged between the supporting plate and the keycap, and located near an outer edge of the keycap. The switching module is located under the keycap and connected with the stopping structure. While the switching module is moved relative to the supporting plate in a second axial direction, the stopping structure is correspondingly moved. When the switching module is in a first status, the stopping structure is located near the outer edge of the keycap. When the switching module is in a second status, the stopping structure is moved to a position under the first outer edge of the keycap to stop the movement of the keycap.

A keyboard device, comprising:
- a supporting plate;
- a keycap located over the supporting plate, and movable relative to the supporting plate in a first axial direction;
- a first stopping structure arranged between the supporting plate and the keycap, and located near a first outer edge of the keycap;
- and
- a switching module located under the keycap and connected with the first stopping structure, wherein while the switching module is moved relative to the supporting plate in a second axial direction, the first stopping structure is correspondingly moved, wherein when the switching module is in a first status, the first stopping structure is located near the first outer edge of the keycap, wherein when the switching module is in a second status, the first stopping structure is moved to a position under the first outer edge of the keycap, so that the keycap is not allowed to be moved in the first axial direction.
