[0006] Preferably, two X-direction positioning columns are provided on the keyboard bottom shell, and the two X-direction positioning columns are distributed in sequence along the long side edges of the keyboard bottom shell.

[0007] Preferably, two Y-direction positioning columns are provided adjacent to each short side edge of the keyboard bottom shell, and the two Y-direction positioning columns are distributed in sequence along the short side edges of the keyboard bottom shell.

[0008] Preferably, the X-axis positioning column and the Y-axis positioning column are both integrally formed with the keyboard bottom shell.

[0009] Preferably, the width of the X-axis positioning column is greater than the width of the Y-axis positioning column.

[0010] In the self-positioning silicone keyboard disclosed by the utility model, the silicone keyboard body is laid flat on the top of the keyboard bottom shell, specifically arranged above the PCB board in the keyboard bottom shell, and the keycaps of the silicone keyboard body correspond one-to-one to the triggering parts on the PCB board. On this basis, the keyboard bottom shell is provided with an X-direction positioning column and a Y-direction positioning column, the X-direction positioning column is arranged adjacent to the long side edge of the keyboard bottom shell, and the Y-direction positioning column is arranged adjacent to the short side edge of the keyboard bottom shell. When the X-direction positioning column and the Y-direction positioning column correspondingly pass through the X-direction positioning hole and the Y-direction positioning hole on the silicone keyboard body, based on the cooperation of the positioning column and the positioning hole, the silicone keyboard body is positioned in the X-direction and the Y-direction, thereby realizing reliable positioning of the silicone keyboard body, effectively avoiding the misalignment of the keyboard body in practical applications, and thus improving the key sensitivity and accuracy. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
