What is the axis of the mechanical keyboard, and what are the differences between various axes

The differences between the mechanical keyboard axes are as follows: 1. Various axes of the mechanical keyboard are different in the pressing force and key stroke required by the keys. Each key of the mechanical keyboard has an axis, which makes the use of the mechanical keyboard feel completely different from the ordinary keyboard. 2. The green axis has the strongest sense of percussion, the best sense of rhythm and the deepest key range. The keyboard itself is loud and has a sense of rhythm. It is especially suitable for people who type and pursue paragraph sense. Playing games will also bring different experiences. 3. The pressure coefficient of the black shaft is the largest, and the key stroke is the shortest. It feels like you are pressing a spring with strong resilience. It is easy to get tired after long use. However, due to its short key range, this kind of keyboard can do well in instantaneous operation response, and is a good choice for playing MOBA or RTS games. 4. The tea axis itself is a direct compromise between the black axis and the green axis. Compared with the black axis, the tea axis has a longer key stroke, but it does not need to press the keys so hard. At the same time, the noise when using the tea axis is not as loud as the green axis, and it also has a certain sense of rhythm when using the green axis keys. 5. The red axis is a mechanical keyboard that requires a small amount of force to press keys. It is very quiet in use. At the same time, because of the short key path of the axis itself, the red axis has a light touch, no sense of pause, and is more soft and soft in rebound. The red axis and the tea axis are both universal axes, which are very suitable for games and basic office work.

Mechanical keyboard parameters Mechanical keyboard Each key of the mechanical keyboard is an independent mechanical structure, and there are a variety of mechanical designs with different handfeel. Therefore, the manufacturer will name and distinguish the shafts with different handfeel by color, reducing the buyer’s selection cost of the shaft. Red axis: linear light touch, the most balanced key axis; Tea axis: weak paragraphs light touch, equal to the red axis with a slight sense of rhythm; Black axis: linear heavy handle, equal to the red axis with double pressure; Green axis: strong paragraph, strong sense of touch, the strongest sense of rhythm, the largest voice; Silver axis: linear light touch, short key stroke, short stroke, equal to the red axis that triggers acceleration; After the expiration of the patent of the cherry shaft in 2014, domestic key shaft switch manufacturers have mushroomed. Many key shafts have even surpassed the cherry shaft and become new favorites of customized players. Among them, TTC, Jiadalong and Kaihua are the mainstays of the domestic shafts with their excellent key shaft design and excellent workmanship and quality control, and they are called the “Royal Three” of mechanical key shafts by netizens. TTC is officially called TTC Kedian, which started as a mouse wheel encoder. It is still the manufacturer with the highest market share of inching and encoder. Its mechanical key shaft is also the first one to adopt long spring design, feel Q, TTC gold powder, TTC fast silver, TTC moon white, TTC silent tea, TTC Aixin, etc. are among the top batch of keyshafts in mass production keyboards at present, The hand feeling performance is better than that of Cherry Axis. Kaihua started as a precision electronic switch and encoder. Its box axle with exclusive box structure developed by Kaihua is very popular in the market. It has the best waterproof and dust-proof performance while retaining the excellent hand feeling. Mass production keyboards commonly include box white, box red, box tea, box rosa, etc. Box white is considered to be a paragraph axis that surpasses Cherry’s lightness. The sound of torsional spring is not only crisp and pleasant, but also prevents the decline of paragraph sense. However, due to the structural design of the box shaft, some parts will be slightly skewed, but only affect the appearance of the key cap without affecting the feel, which can be assured. Game entertainment: Silver Axis> Red Axis> Tea Axis> Green Axis> Black axis office codeword: red axis> Tea Axis> Silver Axis> Green Axis> Each axis of the black axis has its own advantages and disadvantages. There are no real advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, thousands of people have thousands of hands. Different people have different feelings about different axes. The black axis, as the axis with extremely heavy feel, is really the end of the day. Xiaobai should be careful. ① If the sound environment allows, it is suggested that those who have not experienced the sense of paragraph should try to choose the green axis or box to experience it during the day. Its clicking sound can be said to be the charm of the mechanical axis. ② At present, the most excellent linear axes of mass production keyboards are TTC Gold Powder and TTC Fast Silver. The former is suitable for character coding, while the latter is suitable for games. The feel is stable and smooth, and the feel is very strong. Therefore, the price of keyboards equipped with these two axes is not low; ③ If you like the feel of paragraphs, box white, cherry tea, TTC moon white and other key axes in the mass production keyboard are good choices. ④ If you need to keep the key sound as low as possible, you need to choose a shaft body with mute design, such as Cherry Mute Red, TTC Mute Red, TTC Mute Tea, Box Mute Fans, etc. However, Cherry Mute Red has a very good feel. Unless the budget is too small, it is recommended to choose other domestic mute shafts mentioned above. Cherry Mute Red has a much better feel. The general key shafts are directly welded to the PBC board. If you want to change the shaft, you need to use a soldering iron, a tin suction device and other tools for disassembly and welding. It requires very high hands-on ability. Therefore, only customized players can change the shaft. Hot plug refers to the scheme that the PCB adopts a pluggable shaft seat. The key shaft is directly inserted into the shaft seat rather than welded to the PCB. When changing the shaft, you can use the shaft puller to directly pull out the key shaft, and then directly press the new key shaft after aligning it with the rear shaft seat hole. The operation is very simple, greatly reducing the difficulty of changing the shaft. The satellite axis is the most common large key structure in mass production keyboards. It is easy to load and unload. However, because there is no standard tuning scheme for the satellite axis, the final feel performance depends very much on the precision of the satellite axis and the factory tuning of the manufacturer. The upper and lower limits are very high. At present, among the mass produced keyboards, the FL.CMMK satellite axis of Belly is undoubtedly the most excellent. Customized players can use it immediately without any adjustment. As the balance bar must be manually installed, it is difficult to assemble and has high labor costs, so it is rare to see it in mass production keyboards. However, except for the balance bar key of Daryou, the balance bar performance of other keyboards should be better than that of the satellite shaft, such as the 80 series of aluminum plants, the second generation of Filco Sage Hand, and so on. It feels crisp without noise. The positioning board is a part that many people will ignore when considering the keyboard, and it is actually one of the important factors affecting the touch of keys. In the structure of the mechanical keyboard, the positioning plate is located on the PCB board, which plays the role of fixing the key axis and provides more stable support for the key axis. At present, 99% of mass production keyboards are made of steel plates. A small number of keyboards are made of aluminum plates with higher hardness and lighter weight. The rest, such as brass plates, fiberglass plates and PC boards, are almost exclusively used in customized keyboards. In fact, there is also a mechanical keyboard without a positioning plate: Cherry G80-3000, which uses Cherry’s exclusive five corner cherry axis. It can be stably fixed on the PCB board without relying on the positioning plate. It can completely release the straight up and down characteristics of the linear axis. It feels very wonderful to touch the bottom.
