Can the mechanical keyboard really be quiet when typing? Maybe you have tried this Black Canyon Y5 Deep Sea Axis PRO and you will know

Hello everyone, I am Taotie

Can the mechanical keyboard be muted when typing? To answer this question, I think it is still necessary to start with the structure of the mechanical keyboard and the triggering principle.

When the mechanical keyboard is pressed down through the shaft core, the force will be from the keycap→the shaft core→the shaft body→the positioning plate→the PCB→the bottom case. During this process, due to the interaction between them, when two objects touch The impact is bound to produce sound vibration, especially in the case of direct head-to-head without any buffer, this sound will be more obvious.

At this time, some smart friends are going to talk about it. It’s not easy. Aren’t there many silent switches on the market? If the sound of the shaft is solved, won't everything be solved?

Indeed, the truth is this, but it is impossible to achieve complete silence with only one shaft. To completely solve this problem, we naturally need to deal with it from the beginning to the end, from top to bottom. First, the shaft core and the shaft bottom inside the shaft body need to be cushioned with rubber pads. Secondly, the positioning plate needs to be made of softer and elastic PC material. Inside the keyboard, the cavity sound is attenuated. Only through the mutual superposition and cooperation of various accessories can the sound reduction be achieved in an ideal state.

So far, if I want to say which product has the best noise reduction effect, I have to vote for this Black Canyon Y5 Deep Sea Axis PRO version, because it really surprised me.

Not much to say, let's take a look at the actual experience of this keyboard.

Factory run, further enhance the overall texture.

The keycap is made of transparent PBT material, two-color injection molding process, and the details are quite good after looking at it, without unnecessary burrs and flaws.
