Thin keyboard command trigger structure

A thin keyboard command trigger structure, comprising:

• a circuit board including a plurality of trigger portions each accepting contact to generate a keyboard command;
• and
• a frame which is stacked over the circuit board and formed of an outer frame, a plurality of inner frames and a plurality of keycaps in an integrated manner, the outer frame including a plurality of holding zones corresponding to the trigger portions, each keycap being located in one holding zone corresponding to one trigger portion, the outer frame and each keycap being bridged by one of the plurality of inner frames, each inner frame including at least two first connecting portions connected to the outer frame and at least two second connecting portions connected to a respective keycap, each first connecting portion and each second connecting portion being bridged by a support portion which generates a deformation elastic force when one of the keycaps is moved to a respective trigger portion, each support portion including a bend spot and a first connecting section formed between the bend spot and the first connecting portion and a second connecting section formed between the bend spot and the second connecting portion;
• wherein each second connecting portion located in the holding zone is at an elevation equal to or higher than that of a respective first connecting portion, and each bend spot is at an elevation lower than that of a respective second connecting portion.
