About Valentine R67 Klavye Mekanik
Valentine R67 se yon klavye mekanik ki fèt pou itilizasyon òdinatè chak jou. Klavye a itilize yon estrikti moute an sandwich, kote plak pozisyònman an kenbe ant kès anwo a ak kès anba a pou plak la rete santre. Konstriksyon sandwich la diminye vibrasyon lè w peze touch yo jouk anba, epi li bay yon son tape pi klè e pi agreyab. Kò a fèt an alyaj aliminyòm, li fòme ak machin CNC epi li fini ak anodizasyon. Yon manch an kwi sou tèt la fè li fasil pou pote. De kapisyon touch an lò fèt sou mezi genyen yon logo ak modèl flè grave sou yo.
