1. Demand background:

With the rapid development of the smart hardware market, mechanical keyboards, as one of the peripheral devices, are sought after by more and more consumers. Especially in the field of games, mechanical keyboards have become a must-have for players. The mechanical keyboards currently on the market are mainly based on parameters such as mechanical key shafts and trigger force. As consumers pay more and more attention to appearance design and craftsmanship, it is no longer enough to compete solely on performance and parameters. KEYCEO received an ODM bid from a century-old European brand to customize a personalized mechanical keyboard.

2. Design ideas：

This case was entrusted by the buyer to design a mechanical keyboard that not only meets the performance parameters, but also has a personalized appearance and excellent craftsmanship. KEYCEO solidifies the demand into the following manufacturing elements:

1. Selection of mechanical key switches: select Cherry MX, Kailh and other brands of mechanical key switches according to customer requirements, and make timely optimization and adjustments according to customer test feedback results;

2. Appearance design: It adopts independent steel plate structure, which is made by grinding, sandblasting and other processes, and the corners are polished to make the keyboard more delicate, beautiful and high-end.

3. Backlight design: At present, the backlight design of mechanical keyboards on the market includes RGB lighting, monochromatic backlighting, and no backlighting. The direction of this case is to use RGB lighting design to better meet customer needs.

4. Button tactile details: The target customers of ODM manufacturers are mainly gamers, so KEYCEO focuses on adjusting the tactile details of buttons, such as quick-response triggers, correct feedback, etc., to achieve flexible, easy-to-control, and better experience .

Three, the process flow:

1. Production plan: The mechanical keyboard of this case adopts an independent steel plate structure, the surface is polished, sandblasted, and multiple chamfers are polished to produce a high-quality mechanical keyboard appearance;

2. Main process flow:

(1) PCB board production: PCB boards are made by cold-plating and hot-reverse-dipping lead-plating process, with double-sided panels and green paint on the surface. The furnace temperature is 170 degrees and the pressure is 30kg to ensure the quality of the board surface;
