About Valentine R67 Clavièr Mecanic
Valentine R67 es un clavièr mecanic concebut per l'utilizacion informatica vidièrna. Lo clavièr utiliza una estructura de montatge en sandvich, dins la quala la placa de posicionament es mantenguda entre lo bòstia superiora e la bòstia inferiora de tal biais que la placa demòra centrada. Aquesta construccion en sandvich redusís la vibracion al fons de cursa e balha un son de dactilografia mai clar e mai agradiu. Lo còs es fabricat en aliatge d'alumini, formadat per usinatge CNC e acabat per anodizacion. Un manidor de cuèr sus la part superiora permet un transpòrt aisit. Doas tòcas personalizadas en aur son gravadas amb un logotipe e de motius floraus.
