Since 2013, the domestic mechanical keyboard peripheral boom has come! The major domestic brands and factories have continuously embraced the market of mechanical keyboards, permeated various domestic mechanical switch shafts, caused the price of mechanical keyboards to continuously move downwards, and also derived a series of mechanical keyboard peripheral accessories markets, such as: Caps (individualized, customized), key puller, dust cover, customized shell... This key focuses on the lower keycap!
The current keycap material: mainly ABS, POM, PBT these three materials.
1. ABS is a common engineering plastic, the advantage is low cost, easy to make, but the hardness is poor, the use of a period of time prone to the key cap surface wear and become smooth, the so-called oil phenomenon.
2. POM is polyoxymethylene, and its hardness and friction resistance are stronger than those of ABS, but the key cap itself is slightly slippery. This kind of keycap itself is very smooth and delicate, but it is definitely different from the kind of greasy smooth after ABS. The key sound of the POM material keycap is the most crisp and is suitable for being mounted on the keyboard of all axes, especially for the feel and sound of the blue axis and the tea axis.
3. PBT is polybutylene terephthalate, more rigid, feels slightly better than POM, key cap is not easy to oil, grainy stronger. Some keyboards such as Noppoo Choc Pro LEDs use PC (polycarbonate) keycaps.
The current classification of keycaps: There are four types: positive engraving, side engraving, no engraving, and dark engraving.
1. The key cap is being keyed: that is, all the characters and characters are engraved on the top of the keycap. The injection molding cost is low. Most keyboards in the current market are equipped with key caps.
2. Side key cap: that is, all the characters and characters are engraved on the side of the keycap (currently refers to the "front engraved" is engraved in front of the keycap), side engraved keycap lettering requirements more complicated process, the cost High, so less mechanical keyboard will be with PBT keycaps, some timely and the same product is a lot more expensive key cap, such as the cold 87 positive and side engraved dozens of pieces of the difference, so also put a lot of perfunctory PBT personality hat company or enthusiasts.
3. No keycap: that is, all the keycaps do not engrave any characters or characters, and they are simple and beautiful. It is also okay for blind fighters, but for most people, there are no words and characters, sometimes Very painful, do not know that according to that, this should also be the key factor in the absence of keycaps rarely!
4. Shadow key cap: that is, all the characters and characters are engraved on the top of the key cap, but it is lighter or darker, and the translucent key cap is relatively dim and light transmissive.
Most of the mechanical keyboards coming out of the factory's factory are ABS keycaps. There are also some brands that have keycaps. For example: Gaussian, cool keyboards that are coming out on the market are also PBT keycaps, because the cost is not very high. The height and feel are better. At present, most of the personalized keycaps are developed to PBT. Individuals also prefer PBT caps.
I personally like 87 keyboards, now are all 87, Cooler Supreme flame gun 87 green axis, and Corsair K65RGB silver shaft; the original keycaps are oiled, but also washed though dried well but soon oil , so choose PBT key cap does not oil. Here's a look at my real-time picture of the PBT's recently carved gray classic retro keycap with cool 87.
87-key key cap, swing so I also serve myself, tired! good looking!
The overall effect after installation is very good.
The color scheme on the left is a real shot, and the gray cluster is a little red, which is not only beautiful, but is even bigger.
More than 2 left to install behind the effect of real shot map, the United States and the United States and the United States!
The video on the right has too many grey parts but it does not lose its beauty. A close-up side key close-up, clear writing, high forcing grid.
experience feelingsABS original key cap, easy to oil, the other is nothing bad.
PBT key cap does not oil, very much like this color, black keyboard border, with gray keycap, with a red cap on the top right, I thought it would not look good at first, but the installation effect is indeed very good, the side is even more improved Forcing the grid, there are some small beggars behind the keycaps that are not to be avoided after all 99 yuan to buy, positive feel good, do not fight. The writing is very clear, the font is simple and comfortable!
There are few POM keycaps.
to sum up————This is the biggest headache! ——————
1. Most keyboards in the market are ABS keycaps.
2. If the material of the keycap is selected, it is recommended to purchase the PBT keycap so as to avoid the oiliness caused by frequent oily hands.
3, the keycap as "positive engraving / side engraving / no engraving / dark engraving" This can be based on personal preferences, like to choose.
