A waterproof press key includes a key body, a rigid support component, and a waterproofing ring. The key body is made of a resilient material, and includes a top wall and a surrounding wall extending downwardly from the top wall. The rigid support component includes a supporting portion that is disposed at the surrounding wall. The waterproofing ring projects from the outer wall surface of the surrounding wall. The supporting portion overlaps with at least a part of a height section of the surrounding wall from which the waterproofing ring projects to thereby enhance the waterproofing effect of the waterproof press key.
