The last palace column structure is relatively complete among the three structures, and now only the upstart company has the patent right. Therefore, the products used are limited, and more promotion is urgently needed. So today, let's introduce the characteristics of different keyboards and whether they are all worth buying.
Crater structure
Crater structure is the most widely used design in keyboard products on the market at present. The key cap of the crater structure is directly supported by the rubber pad after being inserted into the crater, and the key stroke is about 3.50 mm to 4.5 mm.. This structure has low cost, simple process and certain waterproof function. However, because the supporting point of the keycap is only a rubber pad, the keycap is easy to shake, and only by tapping the center of the keycap with your fingers can you get the best feel. And the feel will change with time, and the noise will be more obvious.
With this structure, users can disassemble it by themselves when using it, which is more convenient even if there is dust occasionally. Crater keyboard belongs to medium-long keystroke keyboard, mostly with high key cap. Because of its strong rebound, it is especially popular with gamers and occupies a certain weight. But its disadvantage is that it is easy to get tired after long-term use and is not suitable for ordinary office workers. Of course, the above comparisons are all on the same level. Even if the ergonomically designed keyboard adopts crater technology, it is not necessarily easy to get tired after long-term use.
Scissors foot structure
The full name of scissors is scissors, and its working principle is: using two groups of parallel four-bar mechanisms, the user feels smooth and consistent when touching the four corners of the keyboard through forced movement. Lightweight plastic-steel structure is strong, and its durability is 40 times that of ordinary keyboard. The design of scissors structure is mostly used for notebooks and ultra-thin computer keyboards. The key cap and rubber pad are supported by two groups of scissors-shaped connecting rods, and the key stroke is about 2.50 mm ~ 3.0 mm
This design can make the user's fingers evenly stressed on the keycap, and each key can get the same feel. However, the assembly of scissors keyboard is much more complicated than the general keyboard, and it is difficult for consumers to maintain it by themselves. Otherwise, the structure may be scrapped, and consumers generally dare not repair it easily. Therefore, the scissors-foot keyboard also has the problem of easily breeding bacteria. Moreover, manufacturers have high manufacturing costs and high market prices, which are unbearable for ordinary consumers.
Palace column structure
Quot Palace main structure quot is a brand-new patented structural technology that Xingui Company put into the market for the first time from June 5438 to February 2008 after two years of painstaking research and development. Compared with the first two traditional structures, it has made great breakthroughs in appearance, feel and service life. Palace, because it is shaped like a stable pillar, was officially named. Its appearance is more beautiful, feel softer and more comfortable, and the reliability of product life is more than ten times higher than that of scissors foot structure. Compared with the crater, the advantages of the palace column structure are more obvious, and the hand feel and dust prevention are slightly better.
Moreover, it is easy to assemble in production, and users can disassemble and assemble it more freely when using it. Moreover, the keyboard with this structure is close to 0 dB mute in use, and it will have different feelings whether it is used by office or e-sports players. Therefore, whether it is technological innovation or user promotion, it is no small step forward. As can be seen from the structural diagram, it adopts a split structural design, and the core part is the palace column structure.
The core dynamic structure of the column is made of POM material, also called Saigang material. Saigang material is a kind of material with strong wear resistance and lubricity, which can ensure firmness and long service life. Even if it is used for a long time, the touch will not be compromised. The structure of the palace is very precise and the technological requirements are very strict. The maximum injection deviation in production can only be allowed to be /-0. 1mm, so as to ensure the stability of the key and prevent the left and right shaking. The keycap is made of ABS material, with a thickness of only about 3 mm, and the left and right ankles are buckled into the palace column. After assembly, the height of the whole keycap is almost flush with the top cover of the keyboard, which is convenient for users to clean in their daily lives.
abstract
Through the above introduction, you should be able to clearly understand the advantages and disadvantages of various structures. Although the pit structure is popular at present, it is not wear-resistant, and the hand feel will become extremely poor after a long time of use. However, although the scissors foot structure can ensure the handle, it also has the disadvantages of high price and difficult cleaning. The nouveau riche's palace column structure completely abandons the shortcomings of both, perfectly combines the advantages of both, and has a unique mute effect.
