Mechanical keyboard classification

Mechanical keyboards are divided into black switches, red switches, brown switches, green switches, etc.

1. Black axis:

The operating pressure of the black axis is 58.9g±14.7g, which is the axis with the highest operating pressure among the four main axes. Compared with ordinary users, typing , it is quite difficult to press, especially users who have just switched from membrane keyboards may not be very adaptable. Therefore, it is not suitable for ordinary users, especially female users or users who require a lot of input. However, at the same time, the black axis is the smallest one among the four main axes and has the smallest impact on the people around you.

2. Red shaft:

The operating pressure of the red shaft is 44.1g±14.7g, which is the shaft with the smallest operating pressure among the four main shafts (same as the tea shaft). It can be said that it is very suitable for general users and users who input a lot, especially female users, and the sound is moderate. However, it lacks the "sense of paragraphs" and makes people unable to feel the unique typing feel of mechanical keyboards. Many users even feel that after experiencing it, The typing feel is similar to that of a membrane keyboard.

3. Green axis:

The operating pressure of the green axis is 58.9g±14.7g, which is the axis with the highest pressure among the four main axes (same as the black axis). It is suitable for typing, There is a unique "paragraph feeling" when pressed, which can be understood as: after pressing halfway, if you want to continue pressing to the end, you must increase the pressing pressure, and at the same time a crisp sound will be produced, so the green switch can be said to be the most "mechanical keyboard" Featured main axis.

The clicking sound of typing is both rhythmic and makes users feel a sense of joy. However, at the same time, the clicking sound will become a nightmare for those around them. It can be said that the green axis It is achieved by crispness, but also defeated by noise.

4. Tea shaft:

The operating pressure of the tea shaft is 44.1g±14.7g, which is the shaft with the smallest operating pressure among the four main shafts (same as the red shaft). When typing and pressing, it also has a unique "paragraph feel" like the green switch, but the feel and sound are more "meaty" compared to the green switch. The pressing force is not as strong as the green switch, and the noise generated is also moderate. It can be said that Very suitable for general users and users who input a lot.

Especially for novice users who are coming into contact with mechanical keyboards for the first time and want to experience the unique feel of mechanical keyboards, but are afraid of causing the anger of people around them, a brown switch mechanical keyboard is a good choice for you. .

Advantages of mechanical keyboard:

1. The most important thing about mechanical keyboard is the axis. Mechanical keyboard has a longer life than ordinary membrane keyboard. Good mechanical keyboard The keyboard has a lifespan of more than 10 or even 20 years.

2. After a mechanical keyboard has been used for a long time, the feel of the keys will change very little, which cannot be achieved by membrane.

3. The keys of different axes of the mechanical keyboard have different feel, while the membrane has a single touch.

4. Mechanical keyboards can handle more than 6 keys without conflict. Some mechanical keyboards can handle all keys without conflict, but there are fewer membrane keyboards with more than 6 keys without conflict.

5. You can replace the keycaps by yourself, which is convenient for personalized DIY.

Disadvantages of mechanical keyboards:

1. The price is high because of the high cost. Most of them on the market are 100-1,000 yuan, and some are more than 2,000 yuan. Not surprising.

2. Although the keyboard has a long life, it is not waterproof and dustproof, so you need to be careful when using it.
