How It Compares
| Plastic desktop keyboards | A metal keyboard is built to remain fixed in equipment rather than sit on a desk |

| Trading intermediaries | Machining, forming and assembly happen in KEYU's own Shenzhen plant |
| Fixed catalogue models | OEM and ODM service builds the keyboard around your enclosure |
Use Guide
- Provide your enclosure drawing so the panel can be matched to the cutout
- Confirm key count and interface requirements when enquiring
- Approve a sample before committing to a production batch
