Aluminum Anodizing

Aluminum Mechanical Keyboard Bezel

Introduction

This aluminum bezel is specially designed for mechanical keyboards and made from 6061-T6 / 6063-T5 aluminum alloy. Lightweight yet remarkably strong, it gives the keyboard a clean, premium metal feel while providing a solid, reliable structural base.

More than just an outer frame, this bezel plays a key role in defining the keyboard’s overall look, feel, and stability. It is precisely machined to support switches, function keys, stabilizers, and optional side display modules, ensuring everything is positioned accurately and stays firmly in place. It’s where design, touch, and performance come together.

Daily Use & Benefits

• Precise positioning for key components: Pre-cut switch openings, mounting points for stabilizers, and dedicated slots for display modules or function keys keep every part in perfect alignment. Even with long-term, high-frequency typing or gaming, components stay stable and secure.

• Premium look and feel: The natural metallic sheen of aluminum, enhanced by surface treatments such as anodizing or brushing, creates a refined, high-end appearance. Compared with standard plastic cases, it looks more professional and feels cooler and smoother to the touch.

• Better strength and protection: The rigid aluminum structure helps distribute pressure from keystrokes and reduces internal flex or vibration. It also protects the edges and corners of the keyboard from everyday bumps and wear, extending the overall lifespan.

• A base for personal style: As the most visible part of the keyboard, the bezel sets the tone for custom builds. It pairs perfectly with different keycap colors, switch types, and lighting styles, making it a favorite choice for DIY builders and enthusiasts.

   

   

Processing Technology Material selection: High-purity aluminum sheets (typically 1.5–2.5 mm thick) are chosen to achieve the ideal balance between strength, durability, and lightweight performance. CNC cutting and shaping: Using multi-axis CNC machining, the overall form is cut with high precision (±0.05 mm), ensuring compatibility with different keyboard layouts. Detail machining: Switch openings, screw holes, display cutouts, and mounting structures are milled with strict dimensional control to guarantee a perfect fit for all components. Surface finishing Sandblasting removes surface impurities and creates a smooth, matte texture Anodizing forms a protective 8–20 μm layer for improved wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and optional color finishes such as silver, black, or blue Edge polishing and chamfering ensures smooth, rounded corners for a comfortable and safe user experience Final inspection and fitting Each piece is checked using precision measurement tools. Critical contact points are manually adjusted when needed to ensure easy installation and a secure fit with internal frames, PCBs, and stabilizers.
