Magnetic Shaft VS GASKET Keyboards

In the world of mechanical keyboard enthusiasts, every technological innovation can set off a heated discussion. Recently, KEYCEO launched the KY-MK2XX series of magnetic shaft keyboards, which attracted widespread attention with its innovative technology. At the same time, GASKET structure mechanical keyboards are also loved by users for their unique feel and design. So, what is the difference between magnetic axis and GASKET mechanical keyboards? Next, we will provide you with an in-depth understanding from multiple dimensions.

一、Working Principle: Electromagnetic Drive VS  Physical Contact

The core experience of a mechanical keyboard largely depends on the working principle of the shaft. KEYCEO's KY-MK2XX series of magnetic shaft keyboards utilize an advanced electromagnetic induction principle. With a micro electromagnetic device precisely integrated inside the shaft, when the user presses the keycap, the magnetic structure inside the shaft is displaced, thus changing the magnetic flux. At this point, the electromagnetic induction module is able to keenly capture this change and quickly convert it into an electrical signal for transmission to the computer. This non-contact triggering mechanism avoids from the root the wear and oxidization problems of metal contacts in traditional mechanical shaft bodies due to frequent friction. Tested by authoritative organizations, the signal response delay of KY-MK2XX series magnetic keyboard is only 0.1 milliseconds, much lower than the average delay of 0.5-1 milliseconds of traditional mechanical axes, which realizes a qualitative leap in triggering stability and response speed. GASKET mechanical keyboards inherently use traditional mechanical axes, such as the classic green shaft, red shaft, tea shaft, black shaft, etc. These axes rely on physical contact to complete the signaling. These axes rely on physical contact to complete the signal triggering: when the keycaps are pressed down, the metal contacts inside the axes close to each other, forming a circuit conduction, which in turn sends key signals to the computer. After a long period of high-frequency use, the metal contacts are prone to oxidation, wear and tear, resulting in key triggering failure, feel astringent and other problems. According to market research data, the probability of traditional mechanical shafts having poor contact after 1-2 years of use is as high as 15%-20%.

二、Structural Design: Stable and Precise VS  Flexible and Elastic

In addition to the axial principle, the overall structural design of the keyboard also has a significant impact on the experience of using it.

When you are typing, the stability of the keyboard will directly affect the knocking feeling. the KY-MK2XX series magnetic shaft keyboard is like a solid fortress, using aluminum alloy frame, created through high-precision CNC technology. This integrated design is like installing an exclusive “fixed bracket” for each key, which firmly fixes the magnetic shaft on the PCB board. KEYCEO found that the keyboard hardly shakes even when the keys are hit in rapid succession, and the amount of key shaking is controlled within 0.1mm. In contrast, the keys of ordinary mechanical keyboards generally shake 0.3-0.5mm during rapid keystrokes, which makes the keyboard feel noticeably loose in the hand. This solid structure allows each key to be accurately triggered, which is especially suitable for scenarios that require fast and accurate input, such as programming and gaming.

The uniqueness of the GASKET mechanical keyboard lies in its innovative structural design. It incorporates a special elastic silicone pad (GASKET) between the keyboard casing and the PCB board, which is like laying a layer of “elastic mattress” for the keyboard, together with a flexible positioning plate. This structure gives the GASKET keyboard a unique “soft spring” feel. When you press a key, the entire keyboard will slightly sink, creating a soft elastic deformation, and rebound with a comfortable cushion. It's like stepping on soft springs, each stroke is “resilient”. Tested by the ergonomics lab, after typing continuously for 1 hour with the GASKET keyboard, finger fatigue is reduced by about 30% compared to traditional structured keyboards, making it more suitable for long hours of daily office work, word creation and other scenarios.

三、Performance parameters: experience differences behind the data

In order to compare the performance of the two keyboards more intuitively, we have compiled a detailed data table:

From the data, it is easy to see that the Magnetic Shaft Mechanical Keyboard has an overwhelming advantage in terms of triggering speed, service life and signal delay; while the GASKET Mechanical Keyboard excels in hand comfort and sound control, and through the matching of different axes, it can provide users with a diverse typing experience.

四、Applicable Scenarios: Different Choices for Precise Needs

Different technical characteristics determine the applicable scenarios for each of the two keyboards. For gaming players and professional programmers, the KY-MK2XX series Magnetic Keyboard is undoubtedly an excellent choice. In e-sports games, the ever-changing situation requires the keyboard to have a very fast response ability, the magnetic axis keyboard 0.1 milliseconds of signal delay, allowing players to operate the intention of real-time feedback to the game, to seize the first opportunity to win; and for programmers, long hours of high-frequency code input, the keyboard needs to have a high degree of stability and durability, the magnetic axis keyboard 120 million theoretical life, enough to cope with years of high-intensity use. GASKET Mechanical Keyboard The

GASKET Mechanical Keyboard is ideal for daily office work, word processing and recreation with its comfortable “soft play” feel and relatively quiet sound. In the office environment, the soft sound of the keys will not disturb the surrounding coworkers; when dealing with documents and writing emails for a long time, the comfortable feel can effectively relieve finger fatigue and improve work efficiency.

五、Conclusion

Magnetic Keyboard and GASKET Mechanical Keyboard represent two major directions in the field of mechanical keyboards in terms of technological innovation and structural optimization, respectively. The KY-MK2XX series of magnetic keyboards introduced by KEYCEO brings a new choice for users pursuing the ultimate performance by virtue of advanced electromagnetic induction technology and exquisite structural design; while the GASKET Mechanical Keyboard meets the needs of daily office and leisure use with its unique feel and comfortable experience. GASKET mechanical keyboards, on the other hand, satisfy the needs of daily office and leisure use with their unique feel and comfortable experience. Whether you are a gaming expert who pursues speed and precision, or an office professional who focuses on a comfortable experience, you will be able to find a product that suits your needs among these two types of excellent mechanical keyboards.
