Normally, they’re hydro-dipped. Also called water-transfer printing, it’s essentially the process of printing an image onto a water-soluable film, then placing the film onto the surface of the water in a heated tank, then a solution is sprayed onto the film to disolve the water but leave the printed image. Then you *very* carefully dip the item you’re “painting” into the solution, being careful not to cause any waves. When you pull the item (in this case a keyboard) out, the printed image is now adhered to it instead of floating on the water.
There’s a *lot* more involved in this process, but that’s the ELI5 version.
