?Digital Goods Part 7: [Jingdong 618 Promotion] Is the mechanical keyboard worth buying?

Hello everyone, I am Superman and I can fly. A foodie who loves music, movies, sports and can raise children.

As we all know, among the keyboards we use every day, most of the keyboards that are "cheap", "thin and easy to use" are membrane keyboards. But in fact, due to the design principle and materials of the membrane keyboard itself, its service life is much lower than that of the mechanical keyboard.

Membrane keyboards have been used for a long time, and the elastic feedback of the rubber caps inside the keys will change due to aging, and the keys will feel sticky, while the keys of mechanical keyboards have a longer service life, basically more than 50 million times. It can be replaced separately, and it will fight for another three years (it is not impossible to fight for another thirty years)!

For example, the same keyboard, 100 for one year, and 500 for five years, how do you choose? It seems that after calculation, the annual usage price is the same. However, the key point is that during the time you use it, the experience of mechanical keyboards is far better than that of membrane keyboards. Therefore, whether it is about cost performance or user experience, mechanical keyboards are definitely the winners!

When it comes to online shopping for digital products such as mobile phones and computers, many people’s first choice is Jingdong Mall, not only because Jingdong’s products have genuine guarantee and high-quality after-sales service, but also because only Jingdong’s discounts are the most unconventional during big promotions. It's a hot sale, which has won the hearts of our valued friends. After all, who doesn't want to spend less money to buy better quality products and better services!

In fact, this is also my true feeling. Jingdong is the first choice for purchasing electronic products. The products are authentic, the prices are honest, and the after-sales service is guaranteed! These are the three points that I value the most. It just so happens that Jingdong 618 is now, so what if I don’t masturbate?

The first one is easy to say, according to your office or game needs, do you want 87 keys or 104 keys? How big is your desktop? Don't worry about this, just choose according to the actual situation and personal usage habits.

Whether the keyboard is easy to use and how it feels in the hand, in fact, the most important thing is the key switch under the keycap! Only by finding the right mechanical switch can you really find the keyboard you want. This will be discussed in detail later.

This is a very subjective matter, I can introduce it according to what I feel good about, but the specifics still depend on the individual, and it can be changed at any time according to the preferences and mood of the individual at different times.

The handfeel characteristics of the traditional linear axis are obvious, that is, when you press the button, there will only be one kind of handfeel during the whole process, and the button will not touch the bottom until you feel a "click". Representatives of traditional linear axes are Cherry black, Cherry red, TTC gold powder, etc.

Quick trigger axis is actually a variation of linear axis, it is a key axis with additional improvements in trigger speed to meet the needs of gamers.

Cherry also launched a similar shaft, Cherry silver is one of the representatives. Later, many manufacturers also launched similar ones, such as the exclusive game switches of TTC Kuaiyin, Logitech and Razer, and so on.

This is probably the most commonly heard mechanical switch, represented by Cherry green and BOX white. The voiced paragraph switch is also the switch with the strongest "mechanical feel", it will make a crisp "click" sound when it is tapped, and there will be an obvious secondary confirmation feeling when it is pressed at the same time. No wonder some people say that the mechanical keyboard of the green axis has a soul.

The micro-paragraph axis retains the feeling of the trigger confirmation of the paragraph axis button, but greatly reduces the noise when the trigger confirmation is triggered, that is, the knocking sound mentioned above. This design is mainly to take care of the confirmation of the key trigger, but also hopes that when the keyboard is used in the office and other occasions, the keyboard will not interfere with others. The masterpiece is Cherry tea, which is also a mechanical keyboard called panacea, and I like it very much.

This is an axis that has only emerged in recent years. The buttons in the paragraph axis are triggered in advance, and confirmation is felt with just one touch. The feel is even very close to the earliest mechanical switches.

Last time, a valued friend responded that this classification is a bit convoluted, okay, then this time I will explain it in a way that is easier for you to understand. According to the color of the shaft body, the mechanical shaft mainly includes the green shaft, the red shaft, the brown shaft, and the black shaft. These are also the most classic four types of mechanical keyboard shafts. These four axes are divided into paragraph axes and linear axes in pairs. Among them, the green axis and the tea axis belong to the paragraph axis, and the red axis and the black axis belong to the linear axis.

As shown in the picture above, the shaft body of the green shaft is cyan, the tea shaft is brown, the red shaft is red, and the black shaft is black.

Different shafts have different characteristics. If you want to ask which shaft is the best, I can’t answer it, because there is no best, only the most suitable. You can choose according to your daily usage scenarios and usage needs. Use a picture to compare and see more clearly.

One of the characteristics of the green axis is that it has a loud voice, and the other is a strong sense of paragraphs. Personally, I think that the green switch is the most soulful mechanical keyboard switch, because it is really comprehensive. Of course, if you use it in the office, library or in the dead of night, the people around you may be disgusted and even beat you up.

The red axis is just the opposite of the green axis, there is no sense of paragraph, and there is no strong sound. For novices who are new to the mechanical keyboard, the red switch is more acceptable, because it has a low sound and a wide range of applicable environments, so it is not easy to affect the people around. And it has no sense of paragraphs, and the fingers of a large number of code words will not feel particularly tired for a long time.

The tea switch has a sense of paragraph and click, but it is not as obvious as the green switch, nor is it as quiet as the red switch. And the pressure is also moderate. Although its characteristics are not clear enough, the overall experience of using it is very comprehensive. It is recognized as a "magic oil" and is very suitable for young ladies.

The characteristic of the black switch is that there is no sense of paragraphs, and the overall use experience is straight up and down. The sensitivity and responsiveness are relatively strong. When you click, it can give you a refreshing feeling of hitting your soul! Yes, it is exactly the shaft used by many gaming keyboards, and it is the mainstream of gaming keyboards.

All kinds of shafts have their own distinct characteristics. To sum it up briefly, it is roughly as follows (only represents personal views):

Before deciding to choose, you must first clarify your purpose, mainly for playing games? Or typing for office work? Or play games while working?
