As the name suggests, the mixed-axis mechanical keyboard is to use a variety of axes on a mechanical keyboard, which not only satisfies the curiosity of users, but after all, the price of a mechanical keyboard is relatively expensive. Users bought a mechanical keyboard with a certain axis.

The mixed-axis mechanical keyboard actually appeared very early. As early as 2010, Erik and Duck launched the mixed-axis mechanical keyboard, but due to the small number of products and the small influence, they stopped. The theory of the mixed-axis mechanical keyboard is actually derived from the partition pressure theory of the membrane keyboard.

The partition pressure of the membrane keyboard means that the key pressure of each area on a keyboard is different, which can more effectively reduce the fatigue caused by using the keyboard for a long time, such as the KeyTronic keyboard. This keyboard is a membrane keyboard that feels the closest to a mechanical keyboard. Its partition pressure is formed by the height of the contact point between the membrane and the keycap. The closer the film is in contact with the keycap shaft, the greater the pressure, and the farther the contact, the less pressure. This constitutes the difference in feel between the zones of the zoned pressure membrane keyboard.

The mechanical keyboard is easier to control, so it is easier to realize the partition pressure, but generally only distinguishes the pressure grams of the function keys and the space bar from other keys. The mixed-shaft design makes the partition pressure design easier. Let users use it, feel more excellent.

Disadvantages of Mixed Axis Mechanical Keyboard

The first is the price of the mixed switch mechanical keyboard. Everyone knows that the price of CHERRY mechanical switches is different. Generally, the red switch is the most expensive, followed by the brown switch, and the black switch and the green switch are cheaper. Since the mixed-axis mechanical keyboard adopts more than two kinds of shaft designs, it is generally more expensive in terms of price. The more expensive price means that fewer people can accept it. How to ensure sales is a problem that manufacturers need to solve.

Another point is also the biggest shortcoming of the mixed-axis mechanical keyboard, different feel, yes, it is the different feel on a keyboard. The feeling of a keyboard is different from the partition pressure design we mentioned above. In many cases, the mixed-axis mechanical keyboard brings us a poor experience. It is because of this problem that our fingers are using the green axis to type easily. , and suddenly press the black switch with a higher pressure in grams, you will feel more uncomfortable immediately.

The mixed-axis design is good for office users, but it is a difficult cnc process for gamers to adapt to. Many players around the author have responded that changes in the material of commonly used game buttons and keycaps will affect the feel, not to mention changes in the axis body. .

Who Is Suitable for Buying A Mixed-Axis Mechanical Keyboard

Now that we understand the advantages and disadvantages of mixed-axis mechanical keyboards, let us see which kind of people are suitable for buying mixed-axis mechanical keyboards. The mixed-axis mechanical keyboard is first of all suitable for friends who like to try new things.

The mixed-axis mechanical keyboard can provide users with a very unique feel and bring users a brand-new experience. It is very suitable for users who like early adopters. Users who like early adopters do not particularly value the practicability of the product. They value the uniqueness of the product more. and other places.

Secondly, the mixed-axis mechanical keyboard is also very suitable for players who like to collect and love MOD. For example, Eric’s unique seven-axis mixed-axis keyboard is a limited-edition product. At the same time, before the manufacturer launched the mixed-axis mechanical keyboard, many god-level netizens have made a variety of mixed-axis MOD mechanical keyboards. For players who like MOD, the mixed-axis mechanical keyboard may provide some unique features for future transformation. train of thought.

Of course, not everyone is suitable for mixed-axis mechanical keyboards. First of all, users who often type in office and hope to be stable are not very suitable for mixed-axis mechanical keyboards. Users who often code words have relatively high requirements for the feel of the keyboard, and hope that the entire keyboard can maintain a uniform feel, but the concept of the mixed-axis design is obviously contrary to it, and it is easy to affect the user’s typing rhythm.

Mixed-axis mechanical keyboards are also not suitable for players with insufficient funds and budgets. Due to the high price, if users don’t like this alternative feel after buying them, it will be more troublesome when they want to change the keyboard.

The appearance of the mixed-axis mechanical keyboard is the product of the development of the mechanical keyboard to a certain stage, and it cannot be simply said that it is good or bad, because the performance of the mixed-axis mechanical keyboard is not the same on different occasions and between different users, but do you really like it? Needs still depend on the individual.
