Mechanical Keyboard for Michael Chan DESIGN
The keyboard adopts a sandwich installation structure, and the positioning plate is clamped by the top case and the bottom case to ensure that the positioning plate can be perfectly centered. The sandwich construction better dampens bottoming vibrations, resulting in a more exotic and pleasing ground-to-ground sound. The keyboard is made of aluminum alloy with a leather handle on the top for easy movement. The two gold custom keycaps are engraved with logo and flower patterns in the mouth.
