How much do you know about mechanical keyboard axis? There are many types of axis on the market, how to select the right one for your mechanical keyboard?
Selection of Mechanical Keyboard Axis Type
Acoustic paragraph axis
If you like the sound of typing on the keyboard, and don’t worry about affecting others, you can try the audio paragraph axis, which not only sounds good but also feels good.
Silent paragraph axis
If you want the keyboard to have touch pressure feedback, but do not like the crisp sound of the audio paragraph, you can choose the silent paragraph axis. This axis has good touch pressure feedback and resistance expression, which can significantly improve the accuracy of input.
Linear axis
For those who like to use it smoothly, the linear axis is a good choice. This axis is straight up and down, triggering speed is fast, and can help you input faster.
Quick axis
If you are a player with high keyboard feedback speed requirements, the fast axis will definitely become your first choice; The fast axis can significantly improve the operation speed of players by shortening the distance between driving points and key path.
For example, the trigger distance of Cherry red axis is 2mm, but the trigger distance of silver axis (fast axis) is only 1.2mm; This means that under the same conditions, the feedback speed of the fast axis is almost twice that of the standard axis.
Mute axis
As the name implies, the main purpose of selecting the mute shaft must be to reduce noise; The hand feel of the mute shaft is rougher than that of the ordinary shaft, and the pressing touch will be tighter and more sticky. Therefore, unless you attach great importance to the sound of percussion, it is generally not recommended to choose this type of shaft;
The above is an introduction to the types of keyboard shafts. In fact, the selection of shafts is mainly based on your hobbies and usage habits.
Maintenance of Mechanical Keyboard
The following points can prolong the normal service life of the mechanical keyboard as much as possible without spending too much money and effort:
1. Simple maintenance: Now most mass production mechanical keyboards have the function of hot plug. As long as the keyboard is hot plug, it can be directly pulled out for repair or replacement when the shaft is damaged, which can greatly extend the service life of the mechanical keyboard. The key puller and shaft puller are required to replace the shaft body, and it should be noted that the mechanical keyboard must not work hard (it is easy to cause damage or poor contact of the shaft body), and it does not require much effort to find the angle and position. (It is not recommended to repair the non hot plug)
2. Cleaning: Long time use will inevitably lead to a lot of dust or other strange things on the keyboard, which will accelerate the aging of the mechanical structure of the keyboard (especially in a humid environment). Therefore, it is a good choice to equip a hand-held portable vacuum cleaner (take a suction when you have nothing to do, and regular cleaning can greatly increase the service life of the mechanical keyboard).
3. Dust cover: The dust cover can effectively reduce the probability of being polluted when the keyboard is idle. Cultivate the habit of using the dust cover on the back cover every time, and the dust falling speed of the keyboard will be greatly reduced.
4. Emergency treatment: In case of splashing, remember to cut off the power of the keyboard first, then turn the keyboard upside down with the key cap facing down or dismantle it, and leave it in a dry, cool and ventilated place for more than 24 hours. Generally, it can continue to be used. If there is still a problem, it is recommended to find a professional for maintenance.
