The third magnetic attraction block 6 is arranged corresponding to the second magnetic attraction block 8 on the back of the LCD screen module 3. A second connector pin 7 is installed in the screen installation area. The second connector pin 7 is arranged corresponding to the pin hole 9 on the back of the LCD screen module 3. In this embodiment, the second connector pin 7 is also a 5P connector, and the LCD screen module 3 can be quickly installed and disassembled with the keyboard.

[0037] For the sake of enhancing aesthetics, in this embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, an RGB light strip 2 is arranged on one side of the plugging and unplugging button 1 area.

[0038] As Figure 1 shown, an LED screen 100 is further arranged on one side surface of the keyboard main body 5. The keyboard main body 5 is equipped with an integrated LED screen 100, which can further enhance the usage functions of the keyboard, such as displaying various parameters of the current keyboard, etc. When the detachable LCD screen module 3 is used, the usage functions of the mechanical keyboard are further broadened.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the screen is connected to the screen base, the functions of the screen are the same as those when it is plugged into the keyboard.

[0040] The utility model realizes the flexible interchange of buttons and the LCD screen module by arranging a plugging and unplugging button area on the keyboard. When needed, the user can remove several buttons on the mechanical keyboard and install the LCD screen module; when not needed, the LCD screen module can be removed and the buttons can be reinstalled. The LCD screen module can be used independently and realizes electrical connection with the keyboard through a 5P connector, which not only improves the customization and multi-functionality of the keyboard, but also greatly simplifies the operation process and meets the diverse needs of users in different usage scenarios.

[0041] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any change or replacement that can be thought of without creative work shall be covered within the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be subject to the protection scope defined by the claims.
