I don't think WP:NCORP is substantiated here. Company appears to be an entirely ordinary keyboard manufacturer, with references consisting entirely of what seems to me to be WP:CORPTRIV covering the company's contracts etc. There's also a whiff of a WP:PROMOTIONAL tone including a suspected COI editor. Maybe the company's contracts to produce Microsoft's keyboards could be argued as notability but that's about the best I can come up with. Athanelar (talk) 21:23, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

- Keep Keytronic made a lot of keyboards back in the day. Even some notable models - and individually notable keyboard models are a thing. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:26, 31 October 2025 (UTC)

- Keep Refs 4,8,9, and 13 seem sufficiently independent and non-trivial. Coverage is a mix of business and product coverage, national and not just regional. I see no SURMOUNTABLE problem here. Jclemens (talk) 06:44, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
- Keep In addition to the significant coverage pointed out above, reference 4 is a three-page comprehensive overview of the company's history in a book published by a reputable publisher (Gale). DigitalIceAge (talk) 18:31, 1 November 2025 (UTC)
