[0002] A foamed silica gel key plate is a key panel made of foamed silica gel material. The foamed silica gel key plate usually consists of multiple keys, and the surface of the keys has a certain concave-convex design. The elasticity of the foamed silica gel makes the keys have a good feedback feeling and a comfortable pressing experience, so as to provide a comfortable touch feeling and visual effect, and is suitable for long-term operation. Due to its comfortable operation experience and durability, the foamed silica gel key plate is widely used in keyboards, remote controls and various electronic devices.

[0003] The prior art has the following deficiencies: After the existing foamed silica gel key plate is used for a long time, the surface of the keys may be worn and deformed. Especially for the protruding key parts, long-term use may cause the color of the keys to fade or the surface to be soiled, greatly affecting the aesthetics of the foamed silica gel key plate. In addition, dust and dirt may accumulate in the groove part of the foamed silica gel surface. The accumulated dirt may become a breeding ground for bacteria, affecting the surface hygiene of the foamed silica gel key plate. At the same time, it is more troublesome to clean the dirt in the groove.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a foamed silica gel key plate. Content of the Utility Model
