If you say, last year was the spring of the mechanical keyboard. So this year, the interchangeable axis mechanical keyboard has become standard. So what is the next generation mechanical keyboard? The answer is waterproof, dustproof, and shaking.
Before dismantling, make an appreciation first.
Metal cover, brushed texture, two-color injection key caps, curved cap height design, these are the popular elements of the mechanical keyboard.
God light shield has three colors, gold, silver and black.
It has been estimated by a friend who has used a mechanical keyboard that the shaft is not the same as the common mechanical shaft.
The conventional shaft body is of a type that is square. Is it just the difference in shape? I will describe it later.
It is still very simple physical work to remove the screws, as long as careful enough.
Tired, back to blue, continue to split.
Then, first look at how the anti-shake is achieved. Unlike the common two-color injection key cap, the shape of the key cap connecting shaft is not the same.
The biggest advantage of this type of key cap bonding is that there will not be a relatively thin joint. Due to uneven force, breakage of the joint will cause loosening between the keycap and the shaft, that is, affect the feel and response.
In a simple word, it is "steady." Have you tried using a 9.9-ball 20-point ballpoint pen? Do you feel while writing?
Well, continue to split.
Just now there is a screw, the LOGO of the E element will be opened.
First look at the back of the PCB, is not it strange? There are still a lot of components on the back, and regular mechanical keyboard components are on the front.
In order to make it easy for everyone to understand, on the front and back of the PCB, this picture was specially taken.
Basically all mechanical keyboard changeover shafts are aligned with the two contacts on the shaft and can be changed.
Here, it is clear that there is no electronic component on the front of the PCB.
The front side is empty and the components include the main control, and the backlight is all on the back.
Where are the benefits of doing this?
First of all, the direction of the keyboard's water intake is basically from the front. On the back side, because there is a certain space between the PCB and the shell, even if the desktop has water, it will not affect the pcb on the back.
Therefore, if you do waterproof on the front and back of the PCB, you will not be afraid that the component water will be scrapped.
Continue to dismantle, say good three defenses, and of course content.
Solder out the socket of the shaft pin and you can see that it is actually a sleeve.
This has the advantage of being able to have a larger contact surface and wear down much less.
We still return to the principle that the mechanical axis is through the disconnection of the metal reed, and the spring produces operation and feel. Metals will inevitably wear, so we need to change the shaft to maintain the feel.
However, have you ever thought that in fact, the socket will wear out, and it will loosen after wear, affecting the response and even become inaccessible.
The contact surface is larger and less affected by metal wear. Even if the shaft is changed many times, even changing the shaft often does not affect the feel.
Then, how can the dust be prevented from happening in the last defense?
There are three main points that affect the life of a mechanical shaft. The first is water, the second is wear, and the third is dust.
Traditional cross shafts, the gap is very large when pressed, it is easy to accumulate dust in the shaft.
With a square shaft, the gap is so small that it does not exist, so that dust can be achieved.
As for other components? Who care, dust will not affect the work of other components.
As for the inside of the shaft, it is the same as the traditional shaft, so the hand feel will be the same and there will be no adaptation period.
In recent years, the development of mechanical keyboards has been mainly driven by domestic manufacturers. In the past, the mechanical keyboard remained the same, and it was already high above the old. Domestic goods step by step toward innovation and autonomy, we can play to newer and better equipment.
