(54) KEYBOARD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE


(57) Embodiments of this application provide a keyboard and an electronic device, which can solve a problem in the related art that an input may fail when a corner end of a key with a large length is pressed, which affects the input efficiency. According to the keyboard provided in the embodiments of this application, a distance between a second key and a substrate is increased by providing a groove for mounting the second key in the substrate. In addition, in a case that distances between first electrical contacts of keys and corresponding second electrical contacts are consistent, a depth of the groove is designed to be greater than a maximum deformation deflection of the second key, so that even if a corner end of the second key is bent and deformed under a pressure, a minimum distance between the second key and the substrate can still be greater than the distance between the first electrical contact of the second key and the corresponding second electrical contact. Before the second key continues to be pressed to touch a groove bottom of the groove, the contacts are in contact to enable the second key to implement an input successfully, thereby reducing the impact of an invalid input on input efficiency.
