New description: [New technical field] This creation has a keyswitch, especially the duai color and the keycap. [Prior Art] The technique of two-shot forming has been applied to the production of many industrial or consumer products. For related prior art, reference is made to U.S. Patent 4,935,184. 'Transparent buttons can also be found in many consumer products. The related pre-technical technology # can refer to Taiwan Patent Publication No. 285345 or Taiwan Patent Publication No. 200705495. The related prior art of the illuminable keyboard can be referred to Taiwan Patent Publication No. 200802040. For the average person familiar with the technology, each key cap contains a key top (keyt〇p) and a key skirt (keyskirt). The so-called key skirt refers to the part around the top of the key and connected to the top of the key, and the key The top is slightly thinner. In the current technology and products, the material and color of the key top and the key skirt are the same, and are formed in a single injection molding process. The technique of two-color, or two-material keycaps has not been disclosed so far, so the aesthetic design of the keycap is missing. For the aesthetics and variety of the keycaps, this creation proposes a two-color, or two-material keycap technique. [New Content] One of the purposes of this creation is to provide a two-color, or two-material, keycap to increase the aesthetics of the keycap. 9 is a two-color keycap according to an embodiment, comprising a key top, which is slightly thin-shaped, the key top has a first color; and a key skirt, which is slightly annular, located around the edge of the key top The key skirt has a second color, and the first color 3 M410271 is different from the second color. According to the embodiment, wherein the key top is composed of a first material and the key skirt is composed of a second material. According to an embodiment, wherein the first material is a transparent material, the key top has a film of the first color. The film is formed on the transparent material by a coating method or a printing method. According to an embodiment, wherein the key top has a light transmissive portion that allows light to pass through the key top, the light transmissive portion being formed by laser engraving on the film. According to an embodiment, wherein the key top and the key skirt are formed in one piece, integrally formed. Exfoliating Measure and Fineness ή 2 The fine features and details can be found in the description of the following embodiments and the scope of the patent. [Embodiment] Referring to Fig. 1, a two-color keycap 10 of an embodiment of the present invention comprises a 100 and a key skirt 105. _ 1 〇〇 is slightly thin plate-shaped, has a first type of 3 edge == into a ring shape and is a slanted disk seat type, and the key top (10) 0 has a second color, and the first color and t type, The difference in color can be made - the two-color version can be tilted inward, as shown in Figure 1, but can also be tilted outward. The key top of the soil type two-color keycap 10 is formed just with the key skirt 10. In the body-forming process, the key top view 2C is a two-color keycap provided with a low-profile top light type. According to another embodiment of the present creation, as shown in FIG. 2C, the key top 2〇〇 is composed of _ ^ li ^ - A second material composition. The first material composition 'the key skirt 205 is a material, and the first material having a top on the key top 200 is a transparent material on the transparent material. The key top 2 has a light transmitting portion 209 through which the light M410271 is allowed to pass, and the light transmitting portion 209 can be formed by operating the film 202 by laser engraving. When the profile of the light transmitting portion 209 corresponds to the function of the key cap, for example, a delete key, the top view (contour) of the light transmitting portion 209 is displayed as "delete", and so on. When the back panel of the keyboard is arranged with an LED backlight, light can pass through the light transmitting portion 2〇9, so that the user can clearly see the symbol of each button. The key top 200 and the key skirt 205 of the two-color transparent keycap in Figures 2A, 2B, and 2C can also be formed by a two-shot molding technique. In the integral molding process, the key top 200 and the key skirt 205 are combined with β to be a two-color keycap. The following is a description of the manufacturing method.
