The biggest playable part of the mechanical keyboard must be the key cap. Different materials, different processes and different designs make a considerable selection of key caps. Among them, impregnation and sculpture are the two most common processes, which are also the most time sensitive. What will happen when the new term "natural color keycap" is used with these two processes?

The natural color keycap is a new term, and the material is still a popular PBT. The natural color keycap is manufactured by Leopold State Representative Zhihai Technology. Compared with ordinary PBT keycaps, natural color keycaps are more shiny, which can be said to have a slightly jadeite texture. Of course, they are also smoother in texture and feel.

The natural color keycaps perform very well in impregnation, but it is not obvious that they are impregnation keycaps. It may be difficult to say, but at present, the impregnation keycaps on the market, such as rainbow and transition, are obviously impregnation, while the natural color keycaps have their own characteristics, so the overall effect is quite good. The above figure shows the natural color key cap slice after impregnation, which can be seen that the impregnation penetrates deeply and will not fade after long time use.

After talking about the dip dyeing effect, I said I could carve. Engraving is more used on personalized keycaps, which has certain advantages in cost and controllability compared with heat sublimation. Compared with other processes, the carved characters will have a good three-dimensional sense, and the original color of the keycap will be displayed after carving, making the overall effect better.

The natural color key cap, that is, the suit after impregnation and re engraving, is designed and produced exclusively by Keyset. At present, according to the key position, it is divided into two types: 66k key position and 108 key position. This time, the win8 theme version used with Varmilo VB660M is displayed, which are function keys, blue rain character keys, and gray keys.

The actual effect is quite good. First of all, there is no trace of impregnation. The visual effect is quite comfortable. The second is that the handle of natural color keycaps is smoother than that of ordinary PBT keycaps.

As for the effect after turning on the light, the display effect is not perfect due to the problem of up and down light positions.

Of course, due to the awkward key position of the 660M, in addition to the official package on the market, only natural color keycaps can be selected for basic personalization. The final price is the price. At present, the final price has not been determined. The provisional price is 320 yuan for 108 keys and 200 yuan for 66 keys. Compared with the common impregnation key cap, it is more expensive, but it is reasonable considering the cost of raw materials and the later process.
