PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To securely coat the slide parts of the key tops of a keyboard with a sliding agent, to prevent the sliding agent from sticking on parts other than the slide parts, to reduce the amount of the sliding agent which is used, and further to shorten the coating man-hour. SOLUTION: Each key top 1 is formed by hanging the slide part 3 for sliding the key top 1 on the keyboard to below a head part 2 and equipped with a receiving tool 5 and an upper fixing tool 6 which fix the key top 1 by exposing the slide part 3; and a storage tank 8 in which the sliding agent 7 is put is provided a recessed storage part 9 for storing the lower part of the key top 1 held by the tools 5 and 6 is fixed to the upper part of the storage tank 8, and a pipe 10 which is linked with the inside of the storage tank 8 and where the slide part 3 of the key top 1 is inserted is stood at a nearly center part of the internal bottom part of the recessed storage part 9. After the sliding agent 7 is put in the storage tank 8 to fill the pipe 10 to a specific height position, the lower part of the key top 1 fixed to the tools 5 and 6 is put in the recessed storage part 3 and the slide part 3 of the key top 1 is inserted into the pipe 10 and dipped in the sliding agent 7.
