Mechanical keyboard What brand is good

According to the structure of the keyboard, we can divide the keyboard into thin-film keyboards and mechanical keyboards. We usually use ordinary thin-film keyboards in our homes and offices. But in some public places such as Internet cafes, mechanical keyboards are more common. So what's the difference between a mechanical keyboard and an ordinary thin-film keyboard? Mechanical keyboard What brand is good? See below.

　What is a mechanical keyboard:

Mechanical keyboard is a kind of keyboard, from the structure, the mechanical keyboard key cap is made of plastic bearings and springs, each button has a separate switch to control the closure, this switch is called "axis", each key below is a separate signal, so the mechanical keyboard will not have a keyed conflict. Mechanical keyboards have caused a flurry of heat in the keyboard world at the end of 2010, and today's keyboard market has sparked a mechanical whirlwind. What is the difference between a mechanical keyboard and a regular keyboard?

　The difference between a mechanical keyboard and a normal keyboard:

1, in the key conflict problem: Because the structure under the key cap is different, the mechanical keyboard can at least do 6 without conflict, a good mechanical keyboard can even do a full key without conflict, and ordinary thin-film keyboard can only do 2 or 3 keys without conflict. This is most noticeable when playing games. For example, when the general keyboard in the CS, if you press and hold WD to the right in front of the run, you can not simultaneously press the next cut pistol.

2, in the feel: mechanical keyboard and membrane keyboard key caps are through the T-shaped key cap bag on a spring, press down when the spring contraction, the T-word hit the bottom of the film contact/metal contacts to close the switch. The difference is that the membrane keyboard is simply a spring, proportional to the pressure and distance, and the lower film contact life is relatively short. Mechanical keyboard through a special design, so that the keystroke has a non-proportional pressure change and paragraph sense, so the finger to get more feedback information, key rebound and resistance is very comfortable, typing more feel. And after a period of time, this effect changes a little, this is a common keyboard difficult to do.

3, in the service life: Mechanical Keyboard service life is relatively long, and developed to now more stable than the ordinary keyboard. So I usually see the bank window and other units mostly using mechanical keyboard.

4, in the Price: the keyboard axis of the mechanical keyboard is key to the performance of the keyboard, but at present this axis is almost monopolized by the German Cherry brand, so the production of such a keyboard axis of the factory is less and fewer. The price of mechanical keyboard varies between 300-800, good brand mechanical keyboard Thousands is not surprising, and the ordinary keyboard dozens of dollars is also quite a lot.

5, from the percussion sound: relative to the ordinary membrane keyboard, the mechanical keyboard percussion sound is a big drawback, but also has a good mute mechanical keyboard, this is more expensive. Ordinary thin-film keyboards generally have very small percussion sounds.

　　Mechanical keyboard What makes good:

Germany as a large machinery manufacturing country, its mechanical keyboard is more well-known, especially a lot of friends familiar with the Cherry, is a 1953 since the establishment of the old brand, which in the mechanical keyboard manufacturing technology far more than other brands. The following is to introduce the most popular mechanical keyboard, the best sales of the top ten brands.

1, Thunder Snake Mechanical Keyboard

2, Cherry Mechanical keyboard

3. Logitech Mechanical Keyboard

4, Ceasefire mechanical keyboard

5, Zhou Rapoo mechanical keyboard

6. Apple Mechanical Keyboard

7. Dell Mechanical Keyboard

8. Mechanical keyboard for Internet Express

9, Lenovo Mechanical keyboard

10. Elf Mechanical Keyboard

In the hearts of the Germans, what they make is not called a product but a handicraft. They build cars that are durable and tricky so that we need to spend time adapting to the cars they produce, but when you really get used to it, you'll find the Germans ' designs. Japanese man-made things are produced as consumables. They think that products are used to serve people, so that people worry less, to treat people comfortable this is their pursuit. It is these two manufacturing philosophies that separate the products of these two countries.

I am currently using the cherry Cherry g80-3000 green shaft, the producing country is the Czech Republic, the back is printed with made in Czech Republic. This is a very good feel, playing more than 20,000 words a day do not feel more tired. What is the difference between Czech-made and German-made and what is the special relationship between Germany and the Czech Republic?

To popularize the relationship between Czech and German. The German people poured into the Czech Republic before the Second World War, and after Hitler took office, most of the German people in the Czech Republic began to split up and then were deported from the Czech Republic. Hitler was angry, but the infamous Munich treaty split the Czech Republic. After the Second World War, the two countries had no diplomacy, and with the European Union's big climate change, and the EU's economic development under the premise of the resumption of diplomatic relations, since then close to the brothers. "Skoda" from the Czech Republic was acquired by the German public, the Czech Republic made weapons to the exquisite craft also flows into Germany, the German rigorous style and the Czech rigorous style of integration between the two countries to improve the manufacturing process, to a certain extent, the Czech and German manufacturing process is the same. Today the Czech Republic and Germany are developing to police patrols, so the Czech-made things and German-produced things, the process gap is not large.

The so-called mechanical keyboard refers to each button has a separate switch keyboard, unlike our commonly used membrane keyboard is just a plastic film with the circuit.

Why do we need a mechanical keyboard?

Mechanical keyboards have a much longer history than thin-film keyboards. When you buy a computer for tens of thousands of dollars, computers are equipped with mechanical keyboards and the Telegraph that we saw during World War II is also a mechanical keyboard.

The mechanical keyboard has the following three advantages.

1, feel very good.

When you tap on a mechanical keyboard, you get a quick, direct, tough, clear, clear feedback that is the biggest difference from a thin-film keyboard. Usually typing at work, I can make tens of thousands of words in an afternoon, fully benefited from the mechanical keyboard, or my hands do not know what to look like. This feel is imaginative achievement here inexpressible, we are still specific to the field experience.

2, life is very long,

Home very early to buy a computer classmate can take out the original keyboard, a little clean up, you will find this keyboard and the original feel identical. This is because the mechanical keyboard uses a very high-grade material and mechanical keyboard life can be up to 100 years, each button can withstand 20 million clicks, black axis can adhere to 50 million times. If you have no idea of the number, I'll calculate it for you.

If you need to hit 2000 characters per day, and the average character needs to be 4 letters each day, you need to press 8000 on the keyboard. The 8000 under the average distribution to 26 letter keys, the average of each key cap needs to be struck 308 times, sometimes the individual keys may be more, so we add all 26 letters to 500 times, also convenient calculation, a year each key need to press 180,000 times, the number of 20 million can be enough to use 100 years. From your work to retirement work 50 years, so even if you tens of thousands of Chinese characters every day, the keyboard can still be strong and guarantee the feel.

So the overall calculation, a keyboard can maintain a permanent feel and will not allow you to change the keyboard frequently, so the mechanical keyboard is still very cost-effective.

3, the material is excellent, durable unchanged

Conventional membrane keyboard Key caps are generally made of ABS, as for this material I will do a detailed introduction in the back. This material is equivalent to our common plastic, after a long time will appear "polish" situation. Long-time use of thin-film keyboard inside the film will gradually aging, and then the feel of procrastination. Mechanical keyboard commonly used PBT and POM, both of which are high-grade materials, very wear-resistant. Which PBT is my use of this, so you will not have the feeling of summer sweating greasy, it feels always dry, like the bones of the general crisp, regular color for white. Pom is similar to the plush surface, the surface is easy to leave fingerprints, especially after eating fried food, wipe on the top of the grease is obvious, the conventional color is black.

Whether it is the taste or work, mechanical keyboard can let us experience the feeling of more than a multiplier. After all, the keyboard for us to spend more than eight hours a day, the choice is very cautious.

Price

General mechanical keyboard to start 300 yuan, here is only 87 key keypad domestic brand. Mechanical keyboard is different from the membrane keyboard, which has many independent switches, each MX axis cost a few dollars, so the price is not high. Assembly process, mechanical keyboard is much higher than the membrane keyboard, for example, in order to ensure the most in place of the hand, every MX axis contact is gold! Mechanical keyboard So upscale things, USB using a gold-plated design, so as to prevent rust, always ensure smooth contact.

In addition, just mentioned 87 key keyboard, so-called 87 keys refers to only the keyboard area functional area, no keypad of the standard keyboard. Another standard keyboard with a keypad is usually 104 keys, the mechanical keyboard will add a lot of suitable for custom buttons, which we can see from the number of keys.

　Brand

Talk about what is inseparable from the brand

There is no complicated relationship in the brand of mechanical keyboards, simple and direct rudeness, from the German Cherry Cherry ceasefire SteelSeries, the American snake Razer, the Japanese Filco and the new Logitech these are world-class representatives of the Ashes, they represent the first echelon of today's mechanical keyboard. Excellent, cherry cherry and Filco is undoubtedly the best.

Recently BenQ also entered the ranks of the mechanical keyboard, simply I started a, use feeling general, good, black axis typing is very tired.

In the low-end brand Price is the mainland and Taiwan goods, these brands are only in the influence of poor but not the quality of the factory, for entry-level players this part will become our first choice. There's a total of Magic duck, Kay Cool, Eric, Elf, pirate ship, Cool extreme, upstart, etc.

At present I have three sets of keyboards, they are cherry cherry g80-3000 green shaft (White PBT key cap), Logitech g710+ (top tea shaft), BenQ KX890 (black axis).

into the peripheral circle for a long time the students said I was a special case, many people are from the lowest end of the domestic keyboard to buy and I started directly to get a lot of people dream of the keyboard, the other people's dream crush. In fact, I am also very regret, mainly that period of bad mood, throwaway, now in addition to the game occasionally with BenQ Mirror, Logitech G710+ is completely in the ash, cherry is my essential typing weapon.

For the purchase of the brand, personally think we buy the main axis, brand what are clouds. Of course, the funds are abundant words or hope you directly to the original g80-3000 series, because the original cherry because of congenital advantages, its keyboard axis do not need plate fixed, the whole body up and down without a screw, light weight at the same time to ensure the original feel. Of course, the premise is that you can not abandon the appearance of cherry, Cherry g80-3000 belong to 20 years ago design, look very ugly, but this did not affect its hot selling, Cherry series can become your collection must. In addition to the Cherry brand, all the other brands need steel plate fixation, which proves the strength of the cherry, on the other hand, the use of steel plate opponent is still some influence.

As for ceasefire, ceasefire's keyboard enjoys a high status among gamers and even more than the Thunder snake. But even if the position is high ceasefire also uses the cherry's mechanical axis. Ceasefire design is more fashionable, but the price is more than 1000 yuan, and the low-end 700-yuan price of the ceasefire keyboard key caps or ABS material, so the price of the keyboard is not recommended, more is the brand influence, not necessary.

Thunder snake, due to exaggerated appearance and the appropriate artificial learning to make it fame, perhaps because the domestic CF first Brand, its brand awareness many times beyond the original cherry. More of the Thunder Snake is the use of exaggerated styling, backlit shape to attract people, the axis is still from the cherry. In addition the Thunder Snake main push is the game mechanical keyboard, its high visibility for the Black Widow Mechanical keyboard, its price in 900 yuan up and down, the use of the green axis.

Filco, can be said to be in addition to cherry work, the design of the best keyboard manufacturers, this is a Japanese brand. The price of giant keyboard is also more than thousand yuan, we also do not introduce.

Logitech is an established peripheral manufacturer, recently involved in the field of mechanical keyboard introduced g710+ using the tea shaft design, can say that workmanship, design has reached the world-class level, but is due to the price of 999 yuan we give up.

BenQ has always started with peripherals, recently launched a mechanical keyboard using ABS key cap, the overall design is very good, the price belongs to the middle end. I started the BenQ mirror to catch up with the promotion of 499, buy now requires 599 yuan.

Mechanical keyboard basically use cherry MX axis, then how to distinguish these axes, how to buy?

Classification of shafts

Currently on the market circulation of the main axis is cherry Cherry MX axis, according to color classification for black tea green. This one also has the domestic yellow axis, belongs to the Zhou Rapoo independent design production, here does not recommend the purchase. In addition, due to the high cost of the original MX shaft, there is also an axis for Taiwan Alps simplified axis, which we call the Kaihua axis. This shaft does not guarantee the original feel, still not recommended to buy. The choice of mechanical keyboard is mainly selected axis, brand inverted in the second.

Features of four kinds of cherry MX axis mechanical keyboards

Before analysing the characteristics of four different hand cherry MX Axis mechanical keyboards, we need to first draw out three indicators to measure the hand feel of a mechanical keyboard: paragraph sense, bond, pressure value.

Paragraph sense refers to whether the button switch feeling is obvious. The clearer the paragraph, the more obvious the feedback is to the actual contact of the contact. Of course, the more clearly the paragraph sense, the better, this is purely a matter of personal preference.

A key is the distance between the press of a button and the contact point. The shorter the key, the easier it is to trigger the button, but the keyboard will be slightly less resilient. The key length, the button feel will become clearer, accurate, but long time to use the fingers easily tired.

The pressure value refers to the number of pressure required to press the button to trigger the state. This indicator is relatively easy to understand, is nothing more than hitting the keyboard when the strength of the small problem.

1. Green Axis Mechanical Keyboard

The green axis is the representative axis of the mechanical keyboard because its contacts are raised more, so the sense of passage is most noticeable when touching two contacts, closest to the original mechanical switch. Every time you press a button there will be a very crisp "click" Sound accompanying you. The pressure value of the green axis is 60 grams, the key path is 2.4 mm, the characteristic is the feel is very clear, the typing uses the words to be very rhythmic. Green axis is recognized as a type of tool, but for the people around it will cause a lot of noise, green axis in all mechanical keyboard percussion sound is the largest.

2. Black Axis Mechanical Keyboard

Black axis mechanical Keyboard features are also very obvious, this kind of mechanical keyboard belongs to the "straight to straight" type, not only no obvious paragraph sense, and the key process is also relatively short, as long as the pressure of 1.5 mm can be triggered. However, in order to avoid "trigger", the pressure of the black axis is higher than the blue shaft just a few, for 80 grams. The black axis is a well-known gaming keyboard that features a short, high pressure value. Another advantage of the black axis is that many people prefer it: tapping sounds is a lot smaller than other mechanical keyboards.

　3. Tea-axis mechanical keyboard

The tea shaft is a relatively mild variety in mechanical keyboards. Its paragraph sense is more obvious than the black axis, but not as clear and crisp as the blue axis. The 2 mm key durations between the Qinghai axis and the black axis, and the pressure value is the same as the green axis, which is 60 grams. From the above three features we are not difficult to see, the tea shaft seems to be in the green axis and the black axis two extreme, the performance of a more balanced, very easy to be accepted by the public. Therefore, the tea-axis mechanical keyboard is also the choice of many people in mind.

　4. Red Axis Mechanical Keyboard

The red axis is a new breed introduced by Cherry in 2008. The red and black axes, which belong to the round bow type axis, have no noticeable sense of passage. However, unlike the black axis, the pressure value of the red axis is smaller, the end pressure is 60 grams, and the starting pressure is only 35 grams. Accordingly, the red axis of the key is slightly more than the black axis, a few, 2 mm. The key and pressure values of the red axis are the same as the tea shafts, and the positioning of the two products is similar and the performance is more balanced. The biggest difference between the red and the tea shafts is the sense of paragraph: there is no paragraph sense on the red axis, and the tea shaft has a certain sense of passage.

　Pursuit

We are the pursuit of pure or the pursuit of multi-functional, you are thinking of the functional single or multi-functional, for example, we still have a lot of people to listen to the song with MP3, take pictures with the camera, of course, you can also use the mobile phone to complete the above two operations, but the cell phone is the result of two, Neither the MP3 sound nor the camera's ability to take pictures. The mechanical keyboard is also the same, there are many gimmicks on the mechanical keyboard, such as backlighting, such as multi-function buttons and so on, which will give you extra money, you will care?

Many people dislike the backlight of the mechanical keyboard, think that it is light pollution, many people have very praise, because after all, very windy.

I feel that I am the pursuit of pure people, so I did not buy a flat, but bought an electric paper book, because I just want to read and do not want to let other things interfere with me. I bought the keyboard without fancy design, all everything for me typing service, no need to decorate.

The following talk about the use of feelings, I always thought that the green axis can only type, black axis can only play games, finally I found that my green axis playing game is not weak, which also let me figure out why the Black Widow used the blue axis in the mechanical keyboard above, each axis has begun to confuse. But the black axis of high trigger high sensitivity is also very worthy of the game player experience, usually play CF and other games when I will change into my benq mirror.

In addition to cater for a variety of needs, many manufacturers have introduced a mixed-axis keyboard, that is, we commonly used WSAD and other four keys and other games commonly used keys replaced with a shaft body, usually black axis, other keys for the second axis, which is also to better serve the players.

Understand all the above on the mechanical keyboard introduction, below we began to recommend several products. Funds in place, Cherry is the first choice, if the price in about 500 yuan, you can choose some Taiwanese brands such as BenQ, Eric, Magic Ducks, Noppoo and other brands of high-end goods can also choose cherry low-end goods but the low-end cherry products are domestic production, its key cap material using ABS. Of course, the appearance of a lot better than g80-3000, but it is also the original brand, the price in about 400 yuan can choose domestic brand Kay Cool, mainly selected axis, non-factory mechanical keyboard all with steel plate, so do a good job of weight on the heart preparation.

Another is worth sharing the message that the mechanical keyboard is free to change the key cap, of course, the mechanical keyboard cap price is also good, but even more expensive I believe that a girl still can't resist such temptation.

The material of the key cap:

Usually the mechanical keyboard are used three kinds of material to do the key caps, respectively, ABSPOMPBT, wherein the use of ABS long after the Polish phenomenon, but many manufacturers have studied more wear-resistant coated on the key cap, which to a certain extent alleviated the phenomenon of polish. The other two types of Pbtpom will not appear Polish, PBT close to the bone, POM is slightly wet a little.

The material of the key cap is usually not marked in the product model, we should pay attention when we choose. Bias game can choose POM Material, Office can choose PBT material, like Cherry White for PBT material, black for pom material.

ABS material: Usually use time too long after the possibility to erase characters, ABS is our commonly used engineering plastics, plasticity is strong, but the disadvantage is softer not wear-resistant

PBT Material: PBT material is usually laser engraving, general wear probability of zero, compared with ABS, PBT to hard many, and very simple, wear-resistant, but the cost is much higher.

Pom Material: In fact, the Cherry has introduced a PBT material black keyboard, but the appearance is really ugly die, so the introduction of POM material, so the cost is higher than the PBT material, POM is the main feature is tough is not hard, elastic.

Have a good horse also need a good saddle, a good keyboard also need a good mouse, usually I use the mouse only Logitech g400s and Thunder Snake purgatory Viper, these two belong to large hands, the rest of the small girls use small point on it, Microsoft may be more suitable for you, many friends like hell crazy Snakes.

I believe reading the above article, even if you do not want to buy a mechanical keyboard, you can also spend more than 100 to buy an X-structure of the membrane keyboard, the same can have the mechanical keyboard of the touch.

Please treat your hands with kindness.
