About Valentine R67 Kibodi ya Mekanika
Valentine R67 ni kibodi ya mekanika iliyoundwa kwa matumizi ya kila siku ya kompyuta. Kibodi hii inatumia muundo wa ufungaji wa aina ya "sandwich", ambapo bamba la kuweka nafasi hushikiliwa kati ya kasha la juu na kasha la chini ili bamba hilo libaki katikati. Muundo huu wa sandwich hupunguza mtetemo wa chini na kutoa sauti safi zaidi na ya kupendeza wakati wa kuandika. Mwili wake umetengenezwa kwa aloi ya alumini, ukiundwa kwa mashine za CNC na kumaliziwa kwa mbinu ya anodizing. Mpini wa ngozi juu yake huruhusu urahisi wa kubeba. Vitufe viwili maalum vya rangi ya dhahabu vimechorwa alama ya nembo na michoro ya maua.

- The pursuit of interesting design, sandwich bracket structure , knocking experience and feedback , crisp knocking sound , the playability of the product
- 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.
