Unique Properties: The keyboard adopts a sandwich installation structure, and the positioning plate is clamped by the top case and the bottom case to ensure that the positioning plate can be perfectly centered. The sandwich construction better dampens bottoming vibrations, resulting in a more exotic and pleasing ground-to-ground sound. The keyboard is made of aluminum alloy with a leather handle on the top for easy movement. The two gold custom keycaps are engraved with LOGO and flower patterns in the mouth.
Dimensions & Packaging: 329mm x 136mm x 42mm, gift carton, aluminum alloy, plastic, 1.5kg, circuit board, lithium battery.

Production Technology: The keyboard adopts a sandwich type mounting structure. Through the research and design of the cutting shape of the positioning plate, the part supporting the keys is connected to the fixed part of the shell with flexibility.
