Abstract
A hidden touch pad structure adapted for an electronic product has a plate, a touch pad arranged inside the plate, a circuit board disposed under and retained against the plate and the touch pad simultaneously, and a lighting device surrounding the touch pad and received inside the plate. The circuit board receives a pressure signal via the plate and the touch pad and drives the lighting device to provide light. The touch pad is recognized via the lighting device surrounding the touch pad.
