About Valentine R67 Mechaninė klaviatūra

Valentine R67 yra mechaninė klaviatūra, skirta kasdieniam kompiuterio naudojimui. Klaviatūroje naudojama sumontuota tarpinė konstrukcija (angl. sandwich mounting), kai pozicionavimo plokštė yra įtvirtinta tarp viršutinio ir apatinio korpuso, todėl plokštė išlieka centruota. Tokia konstrukcija sumažina vibraciją paspaudus klavišą iki galo ir suteikia aiškesnį bei malonesnį spausdinimo garsą. Korpusas pagamintas iš aliuminio lydinio, suformuotas CNC frezavimo būdu ir apdorotas anodavimo technika. Viršuje esanti odinė rankena leidžia lengvai nešti klaviatūrą. Du auksiniai, specialiai sukurti klavišų dangteliai puošti logotipu ir gėlių raštais.

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
Research
The Valentine R67 Keyboard is an echo and tribute to the "spirit of making products full of fun". The design of the Sandwich mount structure, through comprehensive research and repeated verification of materials, mechanics, and elasticity, obtains the best percussion force and feedback, and suppresses key vibration, allowing the keyboard to obtain a better operating experience. Smooth percussion, clear feedback, and pleasant percussion sound bring a pleasant experience. Exquisite CNC machining ensures that the product has exquisite details.
Inspiration
The Valentine R67 Keyboard is an echo and tribute to Ettore Sottsass' spirit of making products fun. Times are changing turbulently and quickly, but the spirit that makes our lives and souls more interesting never falls behind.
