A key structure includes a membrane switch, a keycap and an elastic conduction element. The keycap is located over the membrane switch. The elastic conduction element is arranged between the keycap and the membrane switch. The elastic conduction element includes a supporting cover and a conduction post. The conduction post is connected with the supporting cover and disposed within an accommodation space of the supporting cover. The conduction post includes a first contacting part, a second contacting part and a concave part. While the keycap is moved downwardly relative to the membrane switch, the supporting cover is compressed by the keycap and the conduction post is correspondingly moved downwardly. Consequently, the first contacting part and the second contacting part are contacted with the membrane switch, and a suction force between the concave part and the membrane switch is generated.

An elastic conduction element arranged between a membrane switch and a keycap of a key structure, the elastic conduction element comprising:
