Abstract
A keyboard device includes a key switch, a base plate, a connecting element and a replaceable key. The replaceable key includes a coupling plate and a keycap. The connecting element is connected between the coupling plate and the base plate. The coupling plate includes a first sliding part. The keycap includes a second sliding part. When the second sliding part is slid relative to the first sliding part, the keycap is combined with the coupling plate or the keycap is detached from the coupling plate. Consequently, the keycap is easily assembled or disassembled. Moreover, since the connecting element is not touched during the process of disassembling the keycap, the connecting element is not damaged.
