Abstract
A keyboard includes an upper frame, a main body, a lower frame, and an adjustment mechanism. The two frames cooperate with each other to sandwich the main body. The lower frame includes a bottom plate defining a though hole. The adjustment mechanism includes a first adjustment member, a second adjustment member, a supporting member, a driving member and a position stopper. The supporting member protrudes from the bottom plate via the through hole to support the keyboard. The first driving member drives the supporting member to protrude from the bottom plate via the through hole when the first adjustment member is operated. The second driving member drives the supporting member to retract into a receiving space defined by the two frames when the second adjustment member is operated. The position stopper secures the supporting member when the first and the second adjustment members are not operated.
