Several misunderstandings about mechanical keyboard and maintenance methods

Misunderstanding 1: The mechanical keyboard has poor waterproof performance.
In fact, this problem is caused by a natural misunderstanding of the mechanical keyboard PCB, because the computer has a PCB, almost all of which are afraid of water, and the whole PCB guy like the mechanical keyboard, it is not waterproof.
Right. In actual use, the waterproof performance of the mechanical keyboard is not much different from that of the ordinary thin-film keyboard. All keyboard products, including machinery and film, are IC circuit components for fear of water usage, while the primary key area can basically dry water. Large
Do not look at the PCB and solder joints at home, and worry about burning the mechanical keyboard. As long as you rapidly lose power after entering the water on the keyboard, and then pad the keyboard with an IC chip to let the water drain, dry, and finally can be used normally.

Misunderstanding 2: only low-price keyboard and keyboard caps will fuel
For the feel of the mechanical keyboard, the key and cap are also a key link. Currently, it includes many brands such as filco, jaki, steel, aron, plum, and Shida New World.
It is ABS plastic, because the cost is low. However, ABS materials will inevitably face the problem of long-running oil, and the laser printing on black ABS is unclear. 6g ink printing will fade, while jaki and
The laser engraving of aron laser packing will become darker after a long time. In addition to the original POM and PBT keycaps of cherry, other keyboards cannot avoid the occurrence of oil hitting, and the ultra-long life of the mechanical keyboard also causes
The appearance of oil is only a matter of time. After a long time, there will always be oil, even with a super-hard coating of filco and highly respected 2-Color Key cap is no exception. However, the advantage of the MX-axis keyboard is the key of the primary key area.
The CAP is basically common, especially the swap key. You can easily solve the problem by changing the key cap.

Misunderstanding 3: the price difference between high-price and low-price mechanical keyboards is mainly reflected in the Work gap.
The central axis of the mechanical keyboard is the soul, but what determines the price of the mechanical keyboard is the cost of PCB, IC, overall mold, keycaps and brand. Before that, many netizens split more than one hundred pieces to reach the New World and found internal work and prices.
As many as 700 filco isn't the same. I think we are playing tricks. In fact, there is nothing to worry about. Because the price of the mechanical keyboard is not proportional to the material cost, instead, it is proportional to the mold and brand.
Closely related. A good set of Molds can account for a large part of the overall manufacturing cost, while a manufacturer like STEEL has always been very high brand costs. It is normal to sell 100 yuan of things at a cost of 300 yuan.
Other high-priced mechanical keyboards, such as cherry, PCB, keycaps, and high brand and labor costs, make it hard to sell less than 700. FILCO's full keyboard does not conflict with the IC and
Development costs account for a large part, so the price is not very low.
In short, the work of low-price mechanical keyboards may not be poor, and the work of high-price mechanical keyboards may not be good. It is a waste of typing with a full keyboard without conflict. However, it is the best choice for the competition.

Finally, what we usually see most is that the ALPS axis and the green axis have a sound, and the black axis and the tea axis are small. In fact, when I have been typing for a long time, all the axes are very loud. Users who are desperately pursuing quietness are destined
It is not compatible with the mechanical keyboard. In this regard, some people around the dormitory should pay attention to their voices. Of course, if your black axis has become a stunt on the water, you don't have to worry about it, haha.

Maintenance of mechanical keyboards

The mechanical keyboard features long life and consistent feel. Note that the maintenance can significantly increase the life of the keyboard as follows:

1. when you do not need a keyboard, remember to use a cloth or a bag to build it. It is both waterproof and gray-proof. Dust has an important impact on the mechanical switch. From the feedback on using the keyboard, key failures are caused by a backlog of dust in the switch. We hope you can take good care of your keyboard and do a good job of anti-gray;

2. when using the keyboard, try to avoid Liquid Splash. Water will lead to a short circuit on the line of the mechanical keyboard. If it is light, the keys will fail. If it is heavy, the circuit board and important chips will be burned out, serious irreparable consequences;

3. the keyboard should be used on a fixed Computer Host whenever possible. Because of the voltage of the keyboard interface on the computer motherboard, it is unstable when the keyboard is inserted, it is possible that the keyboard "CPU" may be broken down due to voltage or static electricity. The correct method is to connect the keyboard to the computer before the boot, and release the static electricity near the interface with a metal conductive device before the access;

4. try to clean your hands before using the keyboard, and trim your nails to make the keyboard clean and tidy for a long time and extend the service life of the key. The words in the screen are easy to fade, note that cleanliness can greatly prolong the printing time;

5. if you do not have professional equipment, try not to force the button to take chances. The unbalanced key pulling method is a fatal injury to the mechanical shaft and should seriously affect the feel. If you have to check whether it is necessary, you can purchase related accessories (even if you have professional equipment, we strongly recommend that you do not open the key repeatedly );
