Keyswitch assembly and keyboard

Abstract

A keyswitch assembly is provided. The keyswitch assembly includes a keyswitch module having a key cap, a light guiding member disposed above an outer surface of the key cap and a light source module disposed corresponding to the light guiding member. The light guiding member has a first surface adjacent to the key cap and a second surface facing away from the key cap and opposite the first surface. The light source module provides a light beam incident to the light guiding member. In the invention, the illumination effect of the keyswitch assembly is improved and the power consumption of the keyswitch assembly is reduced by way of disposing the light guiding member of the keyswitch assembly above the outer surface of the key cap.
