HengCang-Tech: Seven Years of Deep Diving in Keyboard Manufacturing, Forging an E-Peripheral Industry Benchmark with Technological Innovation and Quality Commitment

In the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, where the e-peripheral industry is booming, relying on the region’s complete industrial chain support and innovative ecosystem, Zhuhai Hengcang Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Hengcang Electronics") has focused on the core track of keyboard manufacturing since its official establishment in November 2018. With its professional layout and refined operations, it has established a firm foothold in the highly competitive market. As a technology-based manufacturing enterprise established as a sole proprietorship by a natural person, Hengcang Electronics not only fully inherits the 20-year experience in keyboard R&D, production and customer resources from its predecessor, Zhuhai Yilitong Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., but also achieves leapfrog development from "experience inheritance" to "innovation breakthrough" through continuous investment in technological iteration and ultimate pursuit of product quality. Today, it has become an influential "hidden champion" in the domestic mid-to-high-end mechanical keyboard manufacturing field, with its products covering multiple niche scenarios such as gaming, retail, office and customization, and well recognized by customers at home and abroad.

Hengcang Electronics’ steady development is rooted in solid hardware strength and a standardized corporate operation system. The company’s registered capital and paid-in capital both reach 1 million RMB, providing a solid financial foundation for business expansion and technological R&D. Its headquarters is located in Zhuhai Nanping Science and Technology Industrial Park, an industrial highland gathering electronic information and intelligent manufacturing enterprises. This location not only enables convenient access to upstream and downstream supply chain resources, but also attracts technical talents by virtue of the park’s policy advantages. At present, Hengcang Electronics’ factory covers an area of more than 5,000 square meters, with multiple professional production lines including SMT patch production lines, automated keyboard assembly lines and finished product testing lines. At the same time, it is equipped with a full set of testing equipment such as key life testing machines, waterproof performance detectors and signal stability testers, forming a closed-loop production capacity covering the whole process from core component processing to finished product delivery. Its annual production capacity of various keyboards is stably 1 million units, which can efficiently meet the bulk order needs of different customers.

As an integrated keyboard solution provider integrating "R&D, production and sales", Hengcang Electronics’ business scope not only covers the R&D and sales of computer software and hardware, peripheral equipment, communication products and digital accessories, but also builds a differentiated competitive advantage in niche markets: in the gaming peripheral field, its game-specific mechanical keyboards feature fast trigger, long service life and multiple backlight modes, adapting to mainstream e-sports scenarios; in the commercial equipment field, the POS-specific keyboards developed for retail, catering and financial industries have waterproof, dustproof and wear-resistant characteristics, which can adapt to high-intensity commercial environments; in the personalized consumption field, its customized keyboard business supports the customization of materials (such as PBT keycaps, metal panels), colors and switch types, meeting users’ needs for "exclusive keyboards". Particularly noteworthy is that Hengcang Electronics is the first enterprise in the industry to realize "batch tactile adjustment of keyboards". Through independently developed adjustment equipment and processes, it can ensure that the trigger force and rebound feedback error of products in the same batch are controlled within a very small range. This technological advantage makes it a preferred OEM/ODM partner for many domestic and foreign brands, with cooperative customers covering consumer electronics, commercial equipment, e-sports peripherals and other fields.

Technological innovation is the core driving force for Hengcang Electronics to maintain market competitiveness and the key to building industry barriers. Up to now, the company has accumulated 20 national patents (including invention patents and utility model patents) and 5 trademark registration certificates. The patented technologies cover multiple dimensions such as keyboard structure design, production equipment innovation and human-computer interaction optimization, forming a solid intellectual property moat. Among them, the patent "A Device for Forming Keyboard Casings by Extruding Aluminum Alloy Profiles" (Patent No.: CN221984356U), officially authorized in November 2024, is an important breakthrough of Hengcang Electronics in the field of production technology. Through the collaborative operation of "feeding structure + high-precision extrusion mold + CNC machining center", this patented technology can directly extrude, cut and polish aluminum alloy profiles into integrated keyboard casings, completely changing the pain points of traditional keyboard casings such as "multi-process splicing, difficult precision control and low production efficiency". According to calculations, this technology can shorten the production cycle of keyboard casings by 30%, increase material utilization by 25%, and at the same time, the application of aluminum alloy materials makes the impact resistance of the casing more than 3 times higher than that of traditional plastic casings, taking into account the durability and high-end texture of the product, and accurately matching the dual needs of "quality + appearance" in the mid-to-high-end market.

At the beginning of 2025, Hengcang Electronics further expanded its technological boundaries and launched a new carbon fiber keyboard equipped with 3 major height adjustment technologies. This product adopts a lightweight carbon fiber panel, combined with adjustable feet, a magnetic palm rest and a switch height fine-tuning structure, which can flexibly adjust the keyboard tilt angle and height according to the user’s sitting posture and usage habits, effectively reducing wrist fatigue caused by long-term typing and achieving a new breakthrough in the optimization of human-computer interaction experience. Once launched, this new product quickly gained the attention of e-sports players and office workers with its innovative design and comfortable feel, becoming an important starting point for the promotion of the company’s independent brand.

Quality control is the "foundation of existence" for Hengcang Electronics and the key to its products winning recognition in domestic and foreign markets. The company has established an industry-leading quality testing laboratory and formulated a full-process quality inspection standard covering "raw material entry - production process - finished product delivery". All production processes comply with international IEC standards, domestic GB standards and RoHS environmental protection requirements, and successfully passed the ISO9001 Quality Management System certification in 2022, ensuring product quality stability at the institutional level. In specific implementation, in the raw material link, sampling tests are conducted on keycap materials, switch performance and circuit board quality to ensure that each batch of raw materials meets the standards; 3 key quality inspection nodes are set up in the production link to check the patch accuracy, key assembly and signal connection one by one; in the finished product link, strict tests such as 100,000 key life tests, 72-hour high and low temperature environment tests and waterproof performance tests are conducted, and only products that meet all standards can leave the factory.
