Let's take a look at the birth of mechanical keyboard, which is actually the most primitive keyboard. 195 1 year, when computers began to use keyboards as input devices, they used mechanical keyboards. Its principle is that each key is made of copper shrapnel, with contacts, springs, shells and shafts. Of course, there was no current production technology and materials at that time.
Why is the mechanical keyboard gradually replaced by the membrane keyboard? It is because the film keyboard can be mass-produced and the cost is extremely low, while the mechanical keyboard is very expensive from mold opening, shaft design to production, and often faces the problem of out of stock. Therefore, the output of mechanical keyboards can't keep up with the popularity of computers, and finally they can only be replaced by thin-film keyboards.
However, according to the production difficulty of mechanical keyboard, even if the demand reaches an order of magnitude, the production speed is still difficult to keep up, so the price can only go higher and higher.
The feel of mechanical keyboard is different from that of membrane keyboard, which is totally two kinds of feelings.
Although the membrane keyboard can also provide some support and feedback, it gives people a very fleshy feeling. In addition, the film keyboard will be affected by the oxidation of silica gel, and the feel will change with time, and it will lose its elasticity in a certain year.
The original design of mechanical keyboards relied on springs to provide support and feedback. In the process of mechanical shaft evolution, elastic parts can be added to give a click sound and a certain sense of confirmation, which can improve the operation pleasure.
At the earliest time, silicone technology was not developed enough, and almost all keyboards were triggered by mechanical shafts designed by springs. At that time, the price of keyboards was extremely high, but when the movie Keyboard became popular, it quickly became popular because of its low price. For a long time, mechanical keyboards were expensive and scarce.
In 20 10, Razer introduced the mechanical keyboard for the first time and introduced it into the game category, so the mechanical keyboard of Razer Black Widow Spider came into being. This keyboard changed the pressure grams and trigger stroke of the shaft (green shaft) of office machinery, making it trigger faster and easier, and quickly became synonymous with the top game keyboard.
In the following years, Cherry's mechanical shaft patent expired. Before 20 14, Cherry stopped supplying mechanical shafts to Razer and other companies, and instead launched its own game mechanical keyboard products. As a result, the mechanical keyboard of Razer Black Widow Spider, which had the highest market share at that time, was facing the crisis of production suspension. In this case, Razer turned to cooperate with other shaft manufacturers to develop shafts that meet their own technical parameters, and successively launched green shafts and orange shafts. The green axis has obvious sense of confirmation and click, and the orange axis is quiet but retains the sense of paragraph.
In 20 17, Razer launched the yellow axis, which triggered directly up and down, with a light trigger force.
Although it is very difficult for Razer to develop its own mechanical shaft, there are also many twists and turns. However, as the first brand whose main business is game peripherals, Razer has always been advancing. Through close cooperation with shaft suppliers and game teams, it has continuously improved its products to better meet the needs of players. At present, Razer has mastered the important technology of gold contact and coating, and the product test life has reached 60 million to 80 million times. It also provides three axes: green axis (paragraph sense and clicking sound), orange axis (paragraph sense) and yellow axis (straight up and straight down for ultra-fast triggering), and two mechanical keyboards, namely, the black widow spider with traditional design and the black widow spider X with bare axis design (another one-handed keyboard is the golden magic spider).
The development of keyboard is very strange.
The earliest typewriters were mechanical keyboards and, by the way, round keycaps. Later, it developed into a cheap film keyboard and electrostatic capacitor keyboard, which are relatively high-end. After the popularity of the e-sports industry, players have found a better experience on the mechanical keyboard. Is it reincarnation? Unfortunately, the mechanical mouse has no chance to turn over the disk.
Compared with membrane keyboards, mechanical keyboards have the following advantages:
1. The feeling of long-term stability
Because there is a double-layer adhesive film in the structure of the film keyboard, the keyboard contacts the lower circuit board through the resilience of the adhesive film, and the keyboard feels short. After a period of high-intensity use, the feel of the keyboard will be attenuated to a certain extent, while the mechanical keyboard uses springs to provide the elastic force of the keys, and uses metal contacts to control the triggering of the keys. Moreover, most mechanical keyboards have built-in steel plates, so the feel is almost unchanged after long-term use, and stable operation can be maintained during the game.
2. Multi-key without conflict
Generally speaking, mechanical keyboards can do more than 6 keys without conflict, that is, pressing 6 keys at the same time does not interfere, while thin-film keyboards can do less. In the game, they often need to combine operations, and even press many keys at the same time when they are slammed.
3. Long service life
Because the metal spring of mechanical keyboard has good anti-fatigue ability, the service life of single key is between 25 million and 50 million times, while the touch of membrane keyboard will be attenuated if it is used more than 8 million times, and it will be replaced in a year or so if it is used frequently. However, the mechanical keyboard has not changed much after three years of use, and it is very stable.
4. Replacement of shaft body
Mechanical keyboards have many axes with different structures, including black axis, tea axis, green axis and red axis. However, the trigger stroke and pressure grams of the shaft are different, which can provide different handfeel for different palms and different people. Some people even say that the black axis is suitable for games and the green axis is suitable for more subdivided applications such as typing.
5. It is not absolute that the keycap is more wear-resistant.
Generally speaking, the key cap of mechanical keyboard will be equipped with better wear-resistant materials such as POM and PBT than ordinary film keyboard, but it is not absolute. It will also be equipped with some advanced membrane keyboards, and the lower price of mechanical keyboards is ABS plastic. Wear resistance depends on the material of the keycap.
Reasonable consumption, please pay attention to the digital media "Lu Xu"
I have a desktop and a notebook. I don't think there is anything good about the notebook keyboard, nor is there anything good about the mechanical keyboard. It's all the same, there is no difference. I don't think the mechanical keyboard is noisy. I can't stand that noise. I am obviously manic, and people with normal mental development are not easy to get angry.
It's simple, it feels good, and playing games feels good.
Just like a song sings: this feeling is great!
Let's talk about some historical origins first, and then talk about advantages. In the 1990s, all keyboards were mechanical keyboards.
. Around 2000, with the rapid development of personal computers, the cost of hardware dropped, and thin-film keyboards quickly entered thousands of households because of their slim appearance and low price. At one time, mechanical keyboards almost disappeared. Later, with the rise of e-sports and the trend of consumption upgrading, mechanical keyboards returned to the public and became the standard for many users' desktops.
What is the reason for the revival of mechanical keyboards? The biggest reason is that it feels good.
An ordinary membrane keyboard consists of two membrane circuits and a silica gel pad, which is covered with a silica gel bowl. Press the key (silicone bowl) to make the film circuit at the corresponding position conductive, thus forming the corresponding instruction. Due to the structure of the silicone bowl, the force between the finger and the key in each pressing process
Actually, it's different, but the feel is uncertain.
The silicone pad is covered with a silicone bowl.
At the same time, in the process of pressing, the finger exerts pressure on the key, and the key also reacts on the finger. Because the film keyboard is relatively thin, the height of the corresponding silicone bowl is also relatively low, and the key stroke is relatively short. During the pressing process, the finger will quickly touch the bottom without any buffer, and almost all the reaction force points to the finger. In the long run, it will cause hand fatigue.
However, the mechanical keyboard is composed of a separate shaft and a PCB board. Each shaft consists of two parts: a spring and a shaft. It is essentially a switch. Press the key (shaft) to close the contact metal sheet, conduct the circuit, and form the corresponding instruction. Common MX shaft body at present
The durability is more than 50 million times, that is, the single shaft can guarantee the stability of more than 50 million times, and the hand feel is very stable.
Shaft structure
In terms of key stroke, the traditional four-axis key stroke of black, green, tea and red is 4mm, which is much longer than that of most film keyboards. At the same time, because of the built-in spring, the spring plays a buffering role in the pressing process, helping fingers to share more reaction force in the rebound process, and delaying the problem of finger fatigue during long-term typing.
four-axis
The reason why the mechanical keyboard feels good is explained from the technical level. From the most intuitive feeling, the mechanical keyboard has a long keystroke time and obvious feedback, which is widely loved by gamers and office users.
Each of the above mechanical shafts
Both have a life span of more than 50 million times. Compared with the aging silicone bowl, the life of the mechanical shaft is many times longer, which is the second absolute advantage of the mechanical keyboard: long life.
In addition, compared with membrane keyboards, mechanical keyboards have more choices. As far as the shaft body is concerned, there are four common shaft bodies: black, blue, tea and red, and rare ones are silver shaft and silent red shaft. Each shaft has a different feel to meet the needs of different people. The keycap is more changeable, if you use a mechanical keyboard with a cross shaft.
At present, most mechanical shafts are designed with cross shafts, and a few are not. ) There are a large number of personalized keycaps to choose from in the market, such as ABS, PBT, metal, resin, etc., with various color schemes, which are rich in playability and very personalized.
However, the movie keyboard is more like a well-behaved tool. Because of the low price, the key cap is not easy to replace, and there is no replaceable film keyboard key cap product in the market, which can not meet the individual needs.
To sum up, good feel is the foundation of mechanical keyboard, and it is also an absolute advantage. At the same time, long life and many choices also make it popular and universal. In the long run, mechanical keyboards can better protect fingers, and office workers will inevitably knock on the keyboard every day. Mechanical keyboard is a good choice to care for fingers.
The biggest advantages of mechanical keyboard are long key stroke, good feel and long life. Compared with the ordinary keyboard, dozens of pieces can be used, which is completely different from the same level. In touch, the feedback of mechanical keyboard to fingers greatly reduces the fatigue of fingers. The feedback of film keys is average or even dry, and people will unconsciously increase their strength in order to get more feedback during use, which will increase the burden on their fingers more or less. And even if the strength of the mechanical keyboard is very small, the feedback to the fingers is true. From the use point of view, it is equivalent to playing a game. Downloading on a mobile phone and playing on a handheld device dedicated to playing games are two different experiences. The mechanical keyboard will make your typing process more efficient and experience. In terms of life, the life of a general mechanical keyboard is about 10-20 years. Besides being used for a long time, the membrane keyboard may be stuck by dust, or it may be criticized because the whole keyboard cannot be used due to a malfunction. The axis of each key of mechanical keyboard is independent, which is convenient for maintenance. It can be said that if it is broken, it will be replaced. In terms of price, keyboards have become cheaper and cheaper in recent years, which is more attractive to new people than some high-end ergonomic film keyboards. Even after using it for half a month, Xiaobai can clearly understand his own needs and what kind of axle is suitable for. There are almost no heavy appearance updates on the market, and cheap things will always make you gradually become a peripheral party. So many people like the atmosphere of mechanical keyboard. I didn't start to care about peripherals until I bought my first keyboard after the card key appeared in my notebook. Now, with the evaluation of keyboards received, there are more than four models, which is only three or four years. At first, I thought I would buy something that can last for 20 years, but now I don't have to worry about spending money again because of the failure. If you also like mechanical keyboards, it is recommended to buy a cherry axis keyboard of about 300 to 400, preferably tea axis, black axis or red axis experience, which will soon become addictive. Compared with the so-called sense of position, I am still used to the black axis with no sense of position, which is not as light as the red axis, and the feedback to fingers is more in line with Iron Man like me, and the black axis is also suitable for the games I usually play, even if I don't play games, typing is also a very good experience. The red axis will be more suitable for girls. Weak toughness. I hope I can give you useful advice.
Hello, this friend, because the mechanical keyboard has a longer life and a better feel than the ordinary keyboard. You can pay attention to our brand duck, why not take a look at our V700RGB alloy version of the game mechanical keyboard, and then introduce it to you in detail:
Metal aluminum alloy upper cover
The main body of this keyboard is dark gray, the surface of the fuselage is covered with frosted aluminum alloy, and the fuselage is surrounded by Apple CNC trimming metal technology, which has an extraordinary texture.
16800000 color magic RGB backlight
In the driving mode, this keyboard can switch as many as 17 lighting modes, such as spectral cycle, colorful breathing, stars, etc., to meet the needs of most people for color changes, and it is full of e-sports! In addition, you can set the color of magic lamp independently with one button, and customize personalized lighting to give full play to your creativity ~
60 million times black tea and green tea axis
The keyboard adopts Lei Bai independent mechanical axis, which has three choices: black axis, green axis and tea axis. Like your favorite black axis, it has the characteristics of fast trigger and wonderful game. In addition, the service life of single shaft is 60 million times, and the quality is trustworthy!
There is nothing incomprehensible about this. At present, there are roughly two types of keyboards. Membrane keyboards and mechanical keyboards, such as Apple butterfly keyboards or some "mechanical keyboards", can all be classified as membrane keyboards.
This is a good contrast.
Personally, I think the keys on the mechanical keyboard are very comfortable to use, and playing games for a long time will not be more tiring than the ordinary keyboard.
I didn't feel it. It's noisy, but it doesn't matter as long as it's at home. Try to be as quiet as a chocolate keyboard in the workplace. Imagine that you are thinking and your colleagues around you are scratching the keyboard. [Cover your face] [Cover your face] [Cover your face]
