One of the charms of the mechanical keyboard is undoubtedly the variety of key caps. Even in the common ABS and PBT materials, the processing precision, coating treatment, character technology, etc. have been enough eye-catching confusion, not to mention being regarded as the metal materials chosen by local tyrants. Of course, the key cap of ECK is quite special. It keeps the crisp feel of plastic materials and has a very beautiful metallic luster.
The package of the electroplated key cap of ECK is relatively stable, which can well fix the key cap, protect the electroplated coating, and avoid scratches during transportation.

The electroplating effect of the ECK electroplating key cap is quite strong, or very natural. In the blink of an eye, it is almost the rhythm of the metal key cap. At present, there are three colors of gold, silver and bronze in the electroplated key cap of ECK, which just corresponds to the saint warrior and is quite interesting.
Through various details, the slightly fine frosted texture on the surface of the ECK electroplated keycap is very comfortable and reliable. There are three colors of gold, silver and bronze for the plated key cap of ECK, and its surface will be UV treated after electroplating to ensure a longer service life and feel. It is also important to ensure that the cross column is not plated when plating the key cap, so as to avoid abnormal hand feeling during installation and use.
For electroplating, many people still think that it is easy to rub like ordinary coatings. In terms of key caps, Generally, the wear resistance of ABS coating is about 300~500 times of friction, while the EK plated key cap can reach 2000~2500 times Times. To be more specific, gold friction is 2000 times, while silver friction is 2500 times. What does this number represent? That is to say, you don't need to worry about the possibility that ABS material keycaps may be easier to grease, or even the surface may fall off.
The current mainstream configuration of mechanical keycaps, including the common standard 104/108, Taiwan configuration, and of course, the targeted launch of supplementary packages for Tieshura, Logitech, Razer, and pirate ships, is basically covered by the current mainstream or even semi mainstream in the market.
The classic Northeast silver and local gold are even more lovely. Of course, in terms of actual feel performance, the metal key cap electroplated by ECK is made of ABS material, and the knock feel performance is crisp. Although the electroplating is full of luster and the touch also brings a slight sense of sliding, it will not make the metal key cap precipitate and thick and strange feel.
Of course, the surface of the electroplated coating has a slight frosting feeling. If it is sweaty, it may be stable. But for me, this touch is quite comfortable to use. However, in a short period of use, the electroplating coating is not as fragile and falling off as I had previously recognized, and it remains very stable and oil resistant.
At present, the price of a set of ECK electroplated key caps 104 is 199 yuan, while the price of a set of ordinary ABS key caps on the market is about 99~159 yuan, while the price of coated key caps such as Filco, which are widely praised, is higher, which also means that the price performance of ECK electroplated key caps is better. In terms of actual hand feel, while maintaining high brightness metallic luster, the touch and hand feel of the ECK electroplated key cap also maintain the consistent crisp performance of the ABS key cap. In terms of the most interesting service life, the electroplating key cap of ECK naturally also maintains proper strength. If you like the unique metallic luster and visual experience of metal keycaps, but have a higher requirement for crisp hand feel, then perhaps you have waited a long time for ECK electroplating keycaps.
