PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide keyboards with elevated key structures. SOLUTION: An exemplary embodiment of a key structure includes: a main body; a key cap; a substrate; a slider which is movable in a first direction with respect to the substrate between a first position and a second position; a first rod including a first end movable in the first direction and a second end connected to the key cap; a second rod which includes a third end connecting the substrate and a fourth end movably connecting the key cap and is connected to the first rod; and a resilient member which connects the slider and the first rod. When the key structure is in an original state with the slider situated in a first position, the key cap is situated at a first height with respect to the substrate. When the slider moves from the first position to the second position, the first rod is impelled by the slider, and the key cap descends toward the substrate to a second height less than first height to be located in a depression original state.
