Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of key cap installation structures, in particular to a mechanical keyboard key cap installation structure. Background Art

[0002] A mechanical keyboard is a type of keyboard. Structurally, each key of a mechanical keyboard has a separate switch to control its closure. This switch is also called an "axis". According to the classification of micro switches, mechanical keyboards can be divided into traditional tea axes, green axes, white axes, black axes, red axes, as well as Romer-G and optical axes. Because each key is composed of an independent micro switch, the key segmentation feel is strong, thus creating a special feel suitable for gaming and entertainment, so it is usually used as a more expensive high-end gaming peripheral.

[0003] However, the keycap mounting structure of the existing mechanical keyboard is not easy to disassemble, so the internal part is not easy to clean, which may cause excessive dust accumulation inside, resulting in the keyboard being unable to be used normally or causing damage to the mechanical keyboard.
