* Thermosetting plastics are strong and durable but lack flexibility. Keyboards need some flexibility for the keys to move and spring back.
* Thermoplastics are more common for keyboard construction. They offer the flexibility needed for key travel and are generally more affordable than thermosets.
* Other materials: Many keyboards also use other materials like:
* ABS plastic: A common thermoplastic for keycaps.
* Polycarbonate: Another strong thermoplastic for the keyboard frame.
* Rubber: For keycaps, to provide a softer feel.
* Metal: For the frame or keycaps, providing a premium feel.
Therefore, while thermosetting plastics might be used in some small parts of a keyboard, it's more likely that thermoplastics, along with other materials, are the primary components.
