[0005] Preferably, the flocking layer is composed of fine synthetic fibers.

[0006] Preferably, the length of the fine chemical fiber fibers is 0.03 to 0.5 cm.

[0007] Preferably, the keycap body includes a key top and a key skirt, the key skirt being formed by extending downward in a vertical or predetermined angle direction with respect to the outline of the key top, and the flocking layer being laid along the outer surface of the key skirt and the key top.

[0008] Preferably, it also includes an artificial grass layer, which is bonded to the flocked layer.

[0009] Preferably, the grass-like layer is bonded to the electrostatic flocking adhesive layer, so that the keycap can resemble a lawn and is relatively soft.

[0010] Preferably, the grass-like layer is made of any one of PET, PVC, or PS.

[0011] The keycaps are flocked onto their outer surface using a flocking machine, forming a flocked layer that makes them softer. To give the fingers the feeling of contact with grass, an artificial grass layer can also be applied to the flocked layer.

[0012] Preferably, the top of the key has an arc surface that conforms to the curvature of the finger, and the arc surface is recessed at the center of the top of the key by a certain arc.

[0013] Preferably, the contour of the key top is chamfered.

[0014] A keyboard, including flocked keycaps.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model relates to a flocked keycap. In this utility model, the keycap body is provided with a flocked layer, which can be set with different colors, thereby improving the three-dimensionality and aesthetics of the keycap. At the same time, the flocked layer has a delicate and soft feel, providing users with a different typing feel and offering a different typing experience, thus improving the user experience.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model relates to a flocked keycap and keyboard. The flocked keycap includes a keycap body 1, and a flocked layer 2 is laid on the surface of the keycap body 1. The flocked layer 2 is adhered to the surface of the keycap body 1.

[0025] The keycap body 1 is made of plastic material, such as ABS, PC, PP, etc. The keycap body 1 includes a key top 11 and a key skirt 12. The key skirt 12 is formed by extending downward in a vertical or predetermined angle direction along the outline of the key top 11.

[0026] In this embodiment, the flocked layer 2 is laid along the outer surface of the key skirt 12 and the key top 11. The flocked layer 2 is made of fine chemical fiber fibers, which has good abrasion resistance and can effectively protect the keycap body 1, avoiding the problem of severe wear due to long-term use.

[0027] Since the keycap body 1 and the flocked layer 2 are made of different materials, in this utility model, the fine chemical fiber fibers are fixed to the surface of the key skirt 12 and the key top 11 by adhesive. The length of the fine chemical fiber fibers is generally 0.03 to 0.5 cm, which provides better coverage and touch, making the flocked layer 2 softer and more delicate, and also improving the three-dimensionality of the keycap.

[0028] Furthermore, the key top 11 is provided with an arc surface 111 that conforms to the curvature of the finger, the arc surface 111 is recessed towards the center of the key top 11 by a certain arc, and the outline of the key top 11 is provided with a chamfer 112.

[0029] In this embodiment, the key skirt 12 encloses a mounting cavity 13 for mounting a switch shaft along the key top 11. The mounting cavity 13 is provided with a mounting post 14, which is located at the lower end of the key top 11. The end of the mounting post 14 is provided with a mounting groove 141 for assembling the switch shaft.

[0030] This utility model relates to a flocked keycap. In this utility model, the keycap body 1 is provided with a flocked layer 2, which can be set with different colors, thereby improving the three-dimensionality and aesthetics of the keycap. At the same time, the flocked layer 2 has a delicate and soft feel, providing users with a different typing feel and offering a different typing experience, thus improving the user experience.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that Example 2 also includes a grass-like layer 3, which is bonded to the flocking layer and to the electrostatic flocking adhesive layer, so that the keycap can imitate grass and is relatively soft. The grass-like layer 3 is made of any material such as PET, PVC, or PS.

[0033] The grass-like layer 3 makes the entire keycap look like a lawn, revolutionizing the visual effect of existing keyboards.

[0034] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
