The carrier is detachably assembled to the scissors structure and abuts the elastic member. The light source is disposed in the carrier. The light source is electrically connected to a bottom portion of the base through a flexible circuit member penetrating the carrier, passing the scissors structure, and penetrating the base. A top portion of the carrier has light transmittance, so that light of the light source can pass through the top portion to be projected from the key structure.
