Mechanical keyboard is a type of keyboard. Now more and more people want to start with mechanical keyboard because of the pursuit of feel. But there are many people who don't know much about mechanical keyboards, so they can't buy a suitable keyboard. So today, I will give you the basic concepts of mechanical keyboards.

In terms of structure, each key of the mechanical keyboard has a separate switch to control the closing. This switch is also called "axis". According to the classification of micro switches, mechanical keyboards can be divided into traditional Axis, white axis, black axis, red axis and other axis bodies. The application of various shaft bodies is as follows.

Black axis: laborious, martial arts players (not recommended if the finger force is too weak). The linear axis is the most pressing force among the four cherry axis bodies. For those who have never used a mechanical keyboard with a black axis, there will be an unprecedented sense of resistance, especially for users who have just transferred from a membrane keyboard. adapt. Therefore, it is not suitable for people with weak strength. However, the black axis is also the axis with the smallest sound, and has the least impact on the surrounding people.

Silver Axis: Quick trigger, suitable for games

Green Axis: The paragraph feels the most comfortable and the most noisy (it is recommended to use it in your own room). The sense of paragraph is very comfortable, and it is the same as the black axis, which is the four cherry The shaft with the most pressure in the shaft body will have a unique "paragraph feeling" during the pressing process, which can be understood as: after pressing halfway, if you want to continue pressing to the end, you must continue to exert force, and the sound of the button is very clear. But the voice of the green axis is also the loudest among all the axes, and the collective life is chosen carefully.

Tea Shaft: Taking into account the needs of typing and games, a universal shaft. It has a slight sense of paragraph. It is the axis with the smallest operating pressure among the four cherry axis bodies. It has a unique "paragraph feeling" like the green axis when typing and pressing, but the feel and sound will be a little bit worse. Press The strength is not as great as the green axis, and the noise generated is generally acceptable. It is more suitable for daily use or people with a large amount of input. It is a shaft with both feel and relatively low noise.

Red Scroll: For games, except for the green scroll, it is most suitable for typing for a long time. It is also a linear axis, there is no sense of paragraph, it is the four cherry The shaft with the smallest operating pressure among the shafts is more suitable for daily use or friends who have a lot of input, and the sound is moderate. However, it lacks the "sense of paragraphs", which will make people unable to feel the unique typing feel of the mechanical keyboard, and even many users feel that the typing feel is similar to that of the membrane keyboard after experience.

Generally considered:

Gamers: Silver Axis > Red Axis > Brown Axis > Green Axis > Black Axis

Office typing: red axis > brown axis > green axis > silver axis > black axis

The tea shaft is a relatively moderate shaft among all the shafts.

Next, let's talk about the keycaps of mechanical keyboards. At present, there are the following three mainstream keycaps, and their advantages and disadvantages are as follows:

ABS keycaps: low cost, easy to make, easy to oil, that is, the keyboard is easy to be smooth after a long time

PBT keycaps: harder, less oily, and more grainy (high-end)

POM keycaps: With a crisp body, hardness and friction resistance are stronger than ABS keycaps, smooth and delicate (high-end)

Easy to oil level: ABS > PBT > POM

Different brands produce different keyboards, you can choose according to your budget:

High-end keyboard: Cherry original, Leopold, Filco, Corsair, Logitech, Amilo, etc.

Middle keyboard: made in Beijing, ikbc, Razer, Zhuowei, Cooler Master, Magic Duck, Gauss, etc.

Introductory keyboard: Daryu, Leibo, Thor, Bloody Ghost, etc.

Finally, the number of keys on the keyboard varies, and the effect varies. Common numbers are: 108 keys, 104 keys (less four function keys in the upper right corner than 108 keys), 87 keys (less number keys than 108 keys) , function keys), 61 keys (minimalist).
