Two opposite sides of the pedestal have two limiting portions oppositely protruded outward. The pressure sensor module is mounted in the accommodating groove of the pedestal. The key cap is covered on the pressure sensor module. A bottom surface of the key cap has a contact portion contacting with the pressure sensor module. Two opposite sides of the key cap have two active portions protruded outward. The two active portions are mounted to the two limiting portions, respectively.
