Products[edit | edit source]
Chicony offer both pad printing and silkscreen printing for keycaps. Pad printing appears to be preferred due to its faster set-up and easier maintenance than silkscreen printing; as both are coated with a UV protective layer, wear resistance of both is expected to be similar. The method chosen depends on the design of the keyboard and keycaps.<ref name="co-1" />
