Magic makes 200 million keyboards, only sold abroad
The girl who loves…metal
Nestled in a collective area in an alley on Nguyen Trai Street (Thanh Xuan District), is a product display shop, “camp” composing jewelry for… the keyboard of the small owner Dao Thi. Huyen Thu.
Opposite me is a pretty “joyful” girl, always cute and chatty and especially talking… nonstop when entering the right story. Thu is known to everyone as Hien Hien, the name she uses to sign works when bringing them to the world.
I don’t think a girl with a lady’s body would have such a passion for… metal.
Every once in a while, Hien asks me again.”Do you understand what I’m saying?”she seems to be afraid to talk too deeply into the profession making others like “duck hears thunder”.
Hien confided, formerly studied architecture about the construction profession, but was very passionate about accessories. At that time, she was only passionate about things like jewelry, brooches, pins… After being passionate and collecting a lot, she wanted to make items that met her interests.
In the last two years, Hien has noticed that the Keycap world is gradually developing in Vietnam and is also a technology enthusiast, so he has engaged in this subject. At first, I simply liked to make my own products.
“At that time, I just wanted to make a keycap to satisfy my hobby. Later, I introduced it to everyone just to communicate, but I didn’t expect so many people were looking for such things. So I know that I have found my own direction for my work.”
The material used to craft the Keycap is mainly silver. Also made from copper and aluminum if requested by the customer. Depending on people’s preferences, some people like silver, others like the gold color of copper…
Hien Bao, most people are surprised when she does this job. Because when it comes to metal, jewelry, people can think of hammers, knocks and images like that will usually not be related to a girl.
“This is called passion. I’ve been exposed to it since I graduated from high school, so it shouldn’t be difficult to switch from one job to another. Up to now, I still think this is the right choice. Best”.
Hien’s vocational trainer has 30 years of experience working in Denmark and all related machines are imported by him. When she first started her career, she was also lucky for Hien because she was exposed to those very modern machines. It can be said that Hien goes faster than some other friends in this keycap because there are many people who have studied for a long time but have not completed it.
“Making the most difficult keycap is the base, because this keycap stem is made of plastic, so when I put it in contact with the metal button, the plastic will get scratched, easily worn, and can’t fit anymore. So I had to figure out how to find a tripod mount that would have the least effect on it.”
According to Hien, many customers have also ordered gold products, but currently her side is not accepting them because of the value. This is because the price of gold fluctuates up and down and many people do not understand how gold is processed. Gold purchased for processing must be 9999 pure gold, but when processed, it must be converted into western gold for easy processing. So in the processing process, there will be a lot of loss, which affects the economy for the manufacturer.
“So, I’ve only made one for myself and haven’t sold it to the market. If I were to sell it to the market with one like that, the average price would be around 10-30 million/one depending on the button. kind of gold.”
“Witch” profession keycap
“My keycap made is currently receiving a lot of attention in the foreign market, as well as the support of the community of key players. In the country, there are only a few people playing this game now.”
On average, Hien sells 100 products a month, mainly exported to foreign countries. Hien’s goods are almost entirely handmade and do not have any duplicate products.
The reception market of the patio is mainly in Europe such as France, Canada, England, etc. Asia also has, even in Japan, there are many. A node fluctuates around 1.5 million, which is the most normal button and up to about 15 million is the space button.
“And I’m a perfectionist myself, so in order to achieve the most specific details, it still requires the intervention of certain machines.”
Talking about the keyboard set of up to 200 million that I made for customers, Hien shared that the product is made of copper and silver. The keyboard is treated like a mirror and reflected in like a mirror. On it is engraved the landscape with the hometown of the guest, so the value of the keyboard is high. To make this keyboard set, it took her about 3 months to shape, beautify and to complete the product took more than 6 months.
“It can be seen that metal is the best material to be able to make details. So when making products, you guys are well received and also give me a lot of ideas. I also absorb ideas. that idea and created new forms.
In general, now I am also confident that my products will be on par with the world and even much better in terms of design. Because we simply have the initiative in creativity.”
In the near future, Hien wants to have more coverage of this keycap item. In the past, Hien did a lot of research on buttons on the keyboard, there are many types of buttons and each keyboard itself has different layouts, the research is also different. So each Hien keycap company tries to create different sizes and products.
“My upcoming goal is that in 2022, I will research all the most popular lines and sizes so that all brands can appear my products.”
After nearly an hour with Hien’s impromptu story, the girl looked at me and closed: “Normally, I’m very gentle and feminine, my nails are painted in bright colors, my hair and clothes are too. But today I have to be serious, dress casually to meet you, not tell me Metal girls are as clumsy as men (laughs)“.
