[0041] In this embodiment, the frequency of the first group of light rays is different from the frequency of the second group of light rays. Since the frequencies and wavelengths of the first and second groups of light rays are different, the colors of the first and second groups of light rays are also different. After being refracted or reflected by the same grating sheet 23, different patterns can be formed, thereby enabling the replacement of key labels and making it easier for users to distinguish between different key labels. Furthermore, the different colored key labels allow users to understand the function and operating mode of the key with that label, making it easier for users to distinguish and use the key, thereby improving the convenience of the product.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first light source assembly 211 and the second light source assembly 212 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the keycap 24. The incident angles of the first and second light groups are different. Through this configuration, the first and second light groups with different incident angles can form different patterns after being refracted or reflected by the same grating sheet 23, thereby enabling the replacement of key labels and making it easier for users to distinguish between different key labels.

[0043] In this embodiment, a first light guide portion 241 and a second light guide portion 242 are convexly formed on the surface of the keycap 24.
