Abstract
A luminous keyboard with a gaming function includes a gaming program, plural keys, plural light-emitting elements and a control unit. When one of the plural keys is pressed down, a corresponding pressing signal is generated. When one of the plural light-emitting elements is turned on to emit a light beam, the corresponding key is illuminated. The control unit is connected with the plural keys, the plural light-emitting elements and the gaming program. The control unit turns on or turns off the plural light-emitting elements according to settings of the gaming program. Alternatively, the control unit turns off the light-emitting element corresponding to the illuminated key when the control unit receives the pressing signal corresponding to the illuminated key. In such way, the luminous keyboard can be used to play a game.
