About Valentine R67 メカニカルキーボード
Valentine R67は、日常的なコンピュータ使用のために設計されたメカニカルキーボードです。本製品はサンドイッチマウント構造を採用し、ポジショニングプレートをトップケースとボトムケースの間に挟み込むことで、プレートが中央に保持されるようになっています。このサンドイッチ構造により、底打ち時の振動が軽減され、より澄んだ心地よい打鍵音が得られます。本体はアルミニウム合金製で、CNC加工によって成形され、アノダイジング(陽極酸化処理)で仕上げられています。上部に取り付けられたレザー製ハンドルにより、持ち運びも容易です。2つのゴールドのカスタムキーキャップには、ロゴと花のパターンが刻印されています。

- 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. The positioning plate is connected to the upper and lower shells, and the sandwich structure of the keyboard can better suppress the bottom vibration and make the bottom sound more peculiar and pleasant. The product adopts aluminum alloy CNC machining process and anodic oxidation surface treatment process, so that the product has a good texture and touch.
- Design Challenge
- The difficulty lies in repeated verification of the design mechanics and elasticity of the Sandwich mount structure, and finally achieve the best operating experience. At the same time, the appearance design pursues the pursuit of romantic spirit and fun
