According to media reports on October 24th， a technology company in Shenzhen has been rewarding outstanding employees with golden keycaps for four consecutive years.
An employee who received the award shared their long-held aspiration: “I’ve been waiting for 3 years. I was here when the company first started giving out golden keycaps， and I really wanted to receive one. I’ve been working hard every year， and this year I finally had the chance.”
The employee further commented on the practical value of the reward: “The company really likes to give out gold， which is very practical for employees. It’s like they are helping me with fixed-term financial management.” The most expensive prize， a “Golden Spacebar，” weighs 35 grams and is valued at nearly 40，000 yuan， with the current price of gold jewelry having risen back to 1236 yuan per gram.
Based on the company logo visible in the image， the firm is Insta360. Today also happens to be “Programmer’s Day，” making the golden keycaps a particularly meaningful commemorative gift.
This tradition of “golden benefits” has been a hallmark of Insta360. From customized golden keycaps for Programmer’s Day to the distribution of golden stickers to all employees during their tenth anniversary， the company has affectionately earned the nickname “Gold Factory” from both employees and netizens.
