[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1-7 ;

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] This utility model discloses a mechanical keyboard with adjustable lighting effects, aiming to meet users' personalized visual needs for mechanical keyboards. Specifically, it includes a housing 1 and a key matrix 2 and a PCB board 3 located within the housing 1. The key matrix 2 includes several keys, which are connected to the PCB board 3. The PCB board 3 is equipped with several LEDs 4, which are electrically connected to the PCB board 3. Each LED 4 corresponds to a key, and one of the keys is a light switch button 5. When the light switch button 5 is electrically connected to the PCB board 3, pressing the button adjusts the color of the corresponding LED 4. By setting LEDs 4 corresponding to the key matrix 2 and a dedicated light switch button 5, users can personalize the lighting colors of the mechanical keyboard. When a user wants to customize the lighting effect, the first step is to press the light switch button. Turn off button 5 to electrically connect it to PCB board 3, activating the light adjustment mode. Next, the user can press each button one by one; each press switches the color of the corresponding LED 4, displaying a different color each time, until a satisfactory color is selected. This invention is simple and intuitive to operate, giving users a high degree of personalized control and meeting diverse visual needs. Simultaneously, the one-to-one correspondence between LED 4 and buttons ensures precise adjustment, enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, by fully utilizing the electrical connection characteristics of PCB board 3, the structure is compact and easy to implement, enhancing the functionality and market competitiveness of the mechanical keyboard and providing users with a high-quality input device that combines practicality and personalization. It is worth noting that after adjusting LED 4, the light switch button 5 can be pressed again to turn off the light adjustment mode.

[0026] Example 2:

[0027] The structure of this embodiment is mostly the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0028] The structure differs from that of Example 1:

[0029] In this embodiment, a brightness switch module 6 and a brightness adjustment module 7 are provided on the outer casing 1. The output terminal of the brightness switch module 6 is electrically connected to the PCB board 3, and the input terminal of the brightness switch module 6 is electrically connected to the brightness adjustment module 7. Further, the brightness adjustment module 7 includes a slide groove 71, an inner slider and an outer slider 72. The inner slider is connected to the PCB board 3, and the outer slider 72 is slidably connected to the slide groove 71. A clearance hole is provided at the bottom of the slide groove 71, and the outer slider 72 is fixedly connected to the inner slider through the clearance hole.

[0030] The process of adjusting the color and brightness of the backlight using the adjustable mechanical keyboard of this invention is as follows: When the user wants to personalize the visual effect of the keyboard, the first step is to press the backlight switch button 5 to electrically connect it to the PCB board 3, activating the backlight color adjustment mode. In this mode, the user presses each key in the key matrix 2 one by one. Each time a key is pressed, the corresponding LED 4 will switch to a different color. The user can press the key repeatedly until a satisfactory color is selected, achieving precise color customization for each key. If the user is not satisfied with the current color, they can press the same key again to switch to another color. The operation is intuitive and flexible. The second step is to adjust the brightness of the lights. The user can activate the brightness adjustment function by operating the brightness switch module 6. The output of this module is electrically connected to the PCB board 3 to start the brightness control signal transmission. The third step is to fine-tune the brightness by using the brightness adjustment module 7. Specifically, the user pushes the outer slider 72 to slide along the slide groove 71. The outer slider 72 is fixedly connected to the inner slider through the clearance hole, which drives the inner slider to move synchronously. The inner slider is connected to the PCB board 3. Its movement changes the circuit resistance or signal parameters, thereby precisely adjusting the brightness of all LED lights 4. The user can freely adjust to the ideal brightness within the range of the slide groove 71 according to their needs.

[0031] Through the individual color adjustment mechanism of the light switch button 5 and LED 4, combined with the brightness switch module 6 and brightness adjustment module 7, a highly personalized lighting control experience is provided to users. Color adjustment is simple, and independent control of each button ensures precision and flexibility, meeting diverse user needs for visual effects. The slider structure of the brightness adjustment module 7 is cleverly designed, ensuring smooth and intuitive operation. Through the combination of mechanical movement and electrical signals from the PCB board 3, continuous and precise brightness adjustment is achieved, enhancing user comfort and convenience. Furthermore, the overall design fully utilizes the electrical connection characteristics of the PCB board 3, resulting in a compact structure and high functional integration. This not only enhances the practicality and personalization of the mechanical keyboard but also improves the product's market competitiveness, providing users with an input device that combines high performance, personalization, and reliability.

[0032] Example 3:

[0033] The structure of this embodiment is mostly the same as that of Embodiment 1.

[0034] The structure differs from that of Example 1:

[0035] When using a mechanical keyboard, users will use the countdown function. However, when users are playing games, the computer is in full-screen mode, making it inconvenient to check the time. Therefore, in this embodiment, a timing module 8 is provided on the PCB board 3. The timing module 8 includes several indicator lights 81, one of which is a timing switch button 9. When the timing switch button 9 is electrically connected to the PCB board 3, the timing module 8 is used to input the input signal to the PCB board 3, and the PCB board 3 controls the indicator lights 81 to light up.

[0036] In this embodiment, there are five indicator lights 81, each representing a countdown progress. When the user presses the timer switch button 9, which is electrically connected to the PCB board 3, the timer module 8 is activated. The user can input the countdown time through a preset button combination or dedicated software. The timer module 8 transmits the input signal to the PCB board 3, which then controls the indicator lights 81 to illuminate, indicating the start of the countdown. During the countdown, the indicator lights 81 are linked to the countdown progress, providing intuitive visual feedback. This embodiment provides two lighting effect modes:

[0037] Dimming Mode: All indicator lights 81 initially illuminate at maximum brightness. As the countdown time decreases, the PCB board 3 gradually reduces the brightness of the indicator lights 81. For example, if a 10-minute countdown is set, the overall brightness of the indicator lights 81 decreases by 20% every 2 minutes until they are completely off at the end of the countdown. This dimming effect is achieved by controlling the current intensity of the indicator lights 81 through the PCB board 3, simulating the intuitive feeling of time passing.

[0038] One-by-one disappearance mode: All 5 indicator lights 81 are initially lit. Every 2 minutes, as 1 / 5 of the total countdown time passes (e.g., in a 10-minute countdown), PCB board 3 controls one indicator light 81 to turn off until all indicator lights 81 are off at the end of the countdown. This mode is achieved by PCB board 3 cutting off the circuit of indicator lights 81 in stages, clearly displaying the countdown progress. When the countdown ends, PCB board 3 can trigger additional prompt effects on indicator lights 81, such as all indicator lights 81 flashing rapidly 3 times or emitting a specific color light to remind the user that the time has elapsed. This prompt effect can be customized through preset buttons or software, such as setting the flashing color or frequency. Users can intuitively perceive the time progress through the brightness changes or one-by-one extinguishing of indicator lights 81 without switching interfaces during full-screen entertainment, greatly improving ease of use.

[0039] In this embodiment, the PCB board 3 is provided with a storage module, which is used to store the color of the LED 4 corresponding to the button, so as to facilitate recording the modes of the LED 4 in various schemes.

[0040] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0041] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
