백그라운드 층 내에 개방된 레전드(legend)를 통해 광을 확산시킬 수 있는 레전드 디퓨저 재료를 가진 조명식(illuminated) 금속 키 캡. 백그라운드 층은 불투명(opaque)할 수 있고, 레전드는 투명할 수 있다. 금속 키 캡은 전기 스위치 회로 위에 위치된 가위식 메커니즘에 부착된다. 금속 키 캡을 통해, 금속 키 캡의 주변부 둘레로 그리고/또는 백그라운드 층을 통해 광을 방출하도록 위치된 하나 이상의 광원이, 가위식 메커니즘 내부, 아래, 또는 인접하게 포함될 수 있다. An illuminated metal keycap having a legend diffuser material that may diffuse light through a legend opened in a background layer. The background layer may be opaque and the legend may be transparent. The metal keycap is adhered to a scissor mechanism positioned above electrical switch circuitry. Included within, below, or adjacent to the scissor mechanism may be one or more light sources positioned to emit light through the metal keycap, around the perimeter of the metal keycap, and/or through the background layer.
