Hardware Encyclopedia: Talk to the hot-swap shaft body technology of mechanical keyboard
Since the second half of 2015, it has been in the legendary convertible shaft body.keyboardI have started a volumetric product. Speaking of the mechanical keyboard replacement axis, the shaft body on the normal mechanical keyboard is soldered on the PCB board, and it may require a series of tools such as screwdriver, soldering iron, and absorbers. The small white users of the keyboard are really difficult, troubles and can't get up, and it may damage the keyboard and smashed. Therefore, the technique of hot-swappable shafts should be born. This article will talk to everyone to talk about the topic of the hot plug-in shaft.
01 CIY technology and MMS technology
Mechanical keyboard with thermal swappable shaft body properties is generally used in CIY replacement techniques and MMS magic array replacement techniques. The earliest comparison is the keyboard finished product produced by the foreign poles and wolves. It can be called hot, and the discussion in the keyboard enthusiast circle is quite high.
MMS Magic Array Cutout Technology is made from a transgenic and is first on the mandate. With this technology, players do not need to insert metal foot into the metal hole, but directly contact metal patch. The material it is made of beryllium copper and 30 μ galvanized contacts, relying on two metal patches on the PCB plate to contact the contact metal sheet of the shaft body, reducing the shaft body in the interpolation process The wear of the film can also improve service life. However, the MMS Magic Cruise Cutting Technology has a stricter limit for the pin length of the shaft body, like the author just mentioned that the mandrel can change axis is used to customize the shaft body, and the pin is 2/3 than the ordinary shaft. If you want to use other shafts, you have to cut out part of the length of the pin.
CIY replacement technique is different. CIY technology was announced by the wolves and experiencing three iterations. CIY replacement technique, full name: Changeit yourself. The meaning of expression is by playing the keyboard shaft by the player's enthusiast. Ciy1.0 technology is a PCB board that releases the needle jack. The shaft base and the steel plate are fixed by two snaps, and simply draw the shaft body using the catahertor. The ambient compatibility of the shaft is better than the MMS magic array. But at the same time, a generation of CIY technology has some small problems that need attention. Since the shaft body is secured to the steel plate only by the base truck, if the buckle is damaged, the hinder fixation effect is greatly affected. In addition, when inserting the shaft body, it is also necessary to pay attention to the pins that the pins must be aligned, otherwise it is easy to be bent, and dust-proof is not done.

In the CIY 2.0 era, hot swap axis technology has greatly improved. Ciy2.0 is a long life grating element, waterproof and dust-proof machinery shaft, full patch nano-coating PCBA, a complete mechanical keyboard hand-sensitive electrical keyboard system, which is characterized by retaining the original mechanical hand, the maximum Limited to enhance the playability and durability of the competitive keyboard, with the waterproof capacity, simple replacement function and 100,000 hours of the waterproof, and the joining of the optical axis, the principle of triggering the mechanical shaft body, Leave the needle structure, no need to worry about the bending pin.

Ciy3.0 is a small change on the 2nd generation. Ciy 2.0 Technical Grating Components are exposed on the PCB front, and the panel design. Compared to CIY2.0 technology, it added gratia armor on the PCBA motherboard, further improved dust-proof effect, while lowering external signal interference, marking CIY technology maturation.
It can be said that the emergence of hot-swap axis technology is actually a gospel for the user. We don't have to pay a lot of time to replace the new replacement shaft in two or three seconds. This is a great reduction in the maintenance cost of the keyboard, and it can also use different shafts on the same keyboard according to the button function partition, which is really beneficial, and it is true.

Such a contrast, CIY technology is more practical, so it is also widely adopted by other brands. In addition to personal DIY users, neticeware users are also supporters of this technology. Let's look at the new CIY keyboard for the net coffee market, mostly support hot-swap shafts, with high-compatible PCB boards, long optical axes, and the most important dustproof waterproof for different brand shafts. No matter what you are poured on the keyboard, it is still on the keyboard, which doesn't have any problems, even if you really have a few shafts, just take a few seconds to change the new axis, maintenance The cost is ultra-low, and the durability is excellent. In addition, there are many brands that also directly support only after-sales policy, and the netware bosses can be 100 hearts in this regard.

Two-in-one
Whether it is using which technique is used, the cuft is not different, and our common metal bending cuvers, two-in-one collocation, as long as they are fixed in the shaft cap, you can Complete the pulsed axis operation. But if we are too powerful, or the angle is wrong, it is possible that the shaft cover is broken or the needle bend, or it is too powerful when the axis is pulled, and the shaft is flying.

In order to solve the above problems, a set of sets of the United States, that is, Jia Delong cataractors. This caractler adopts a special structure design, the top button directly links the metal claws of the bottom. We have no need to align the shaft buckle operation like a traditional cataract, and this cataherifier has a square bottom groove, we only need to switch directly to the shaft of the case, to be more than the traditional pull-up More easily used. After pulling the shaft body, the shaft body is still fixed on the metal claw, which avoids the problem of the shaft body, and we only need to press the top button to remove the shaft body. But must mention one sentence, this cataract is sold for 129 yuan, really dripping!
03 to sum up
Said that there are so many, what is the hot swap hinder technology? This technology is extremely useful for netfa operators because it can reduce maintenance costs; it is also very useful for enthusiasts that have different feelings of the keyboard in each functional area, because it is easy to replace, low time cost, customizable degree Strong, highlighting the new way of personality.
TTC shaft seat is installed or reversed
Other shaft seats or reverse
Some small partners will ask: I bought the keyboard of the hot-swappable shaft body, always replaced the shaft body, will the axis will not be bad? In fact, big data indicates that the shaft body on a bond is diligently swapped, and the average plug is only 10 times, so this is really much more. With the development of technology, the hot-swap axis block has also generated iteration. Last month, TTC released a 4-fold-to-range-of-the-spot (100 times), which is the life of the market. The general shaft seat, if solder, the shaft bottom guide post is interfere with the shaft seat at the bottom guide post to the shaft seat, thereby destroying the circuit board. TTC This is a good solves this problem very well. I believe that there will be more keyboard finished products in the future.
At present, there are more and more mechanical keyboards that support hot-swappable shafts, and CIY technology is constantly iterative, reflecting hot-swappable technology from the side, so if you are interested in it, you can get started.
