[0010] Preferably, the second color R2 is a transition color, the first color R1 gradually transitions to the second color R2, and the second color R2 gradually transitions to the third color R3, so that the colors of the first color R1 to the third color R3 present a gradient effect from dark to light or from light to dark.
[0011] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that the utility model relates to a keycap with gradient color, wherein the first outer shell, the second outer shell and the inner shell of the keycap are respectively injection molded with materials of three different colors, and during the injection molding, only the first wrapping area and the second wrapping area on both sides of the convex step of the inner shell need to be injection molded, so as to realize the keycaps of three different colors, and the process of the utility model is relatively simple, convenient for mold processing, and easy for batch processing. The three different colors present a gradient effect from dark to light or from light to dark, so that the keycap is rich in color layering, giving users a better visual perception, thereby improving the overall aesthetics of the keycap, making the keyboard look more fashionable and unique, and meeting the needs of most users.

[0019] See also Figure 1-5As shown, the utility model relates to a keycap with gradient color, comprising an inner shell 1, a first outer shell 2 and a second outer shell 3, a convex step 11 is provided at the center of the inner shell 1, the first outer shell 2 and the second outer shell 3 are arranged on both sides of the convex step 11, the first outer shell 2, the second outer shell 3 and the inner shell 1 are integrally injection molded, the first outer shell 2 and the second outer shell 3 wrap the outer surface of the inner shell 1, and the first outer shell 2, the inner shell 1 and the second outer shell 3 are respectively injection molded with materials of different colors.
[0020] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the inner shell 1 includes an inner shell key top 12 and an inner shell key skirt 13, and the inner shell key top 12 and the inner shell key skirt 13 enclose a first concave cavity 14 with a lower opening. In this embodiment, the inner shell key top 12 has a long strip shape, and the inner shell key top 12 has a first curved surface 121 that protrudes outward and fits the finger key touch. Further, the convex step 11 is arranged in the middle position of the inner shell 1, and the convex step 11 is arranged along the contour of the inner shell key top 12 and the inner shell key skirt 13 of the inner shell 1. The convex step 11 divides the inner shell 1 into two parts, namely the first wrapping area 15 and the second wrapping area 16. A plurality of mounting posts 141 are arranged in the first concave cavity 14 of the inner shell 1, and the mounting posts 141 are integrally formed with the inner shell 1. The mounting posts 141 have a cylindrical shape, and a cross groove 142 is provided at the bottom of the mounting posts 141, and the cross groove 142 is used to cooperate with the keyboard installation.
