If we say that the fundamental counterattack of the mechanical keyboard is "feel", I agree!
If we say that the popularization of mechanical keyboards is "light", I agree more!
In the thin film era, no one thought that the backlight of the keyboard could be so bright and so dazzling! The ordinary thin-film backlit keyboard would cost even higher, and then the tricks would be lost, and it would be thrown to the ordinary RGB machine. It’s so dark, because the mechanical keyboard is the essence of playing with lights.
Development of mechanical keyboard backlight
The mechanical keyboard backlight effect is good, only because each button has an independent LED light to serve it, through the light control IC control to produce various lighting effects such as horse race, cymbals, waves, etc. If it is RGB lights, it can also achieve 1680 RGB is considered to be the ultimate form of backlight keyboard lighting.
However, there is no special law on what kind of backlit keyboards to choose from in the market. However, with the mechanical keyboard constantly appearing 10 times the price difference (domestic axis and CHERRY axis), and the coexistence of the situation, the competition has become hot, the market digestive power is unprecedented. Therefore, some large manufacturers with market share & shipments are considering the consideration of improving products and reducing costs. They must increase production efficiency and automate production as much as possible. Therefore, automatic wave soldering, automatic shaft insertion machines, etc., then I have to say SMT LED (SMD LED Light Process).
SMT is the most popular automated processing technology and process in the electronics industry. For example, computer motherboards, graphics cards, and mechanical keyboards and mouse PCB boards are all welded components through the SMT process, because the mechanical keyboard has a lot of LEDs (such as 87, 104). If you use traditional plug-in LEDs, you will need at least 2 processes, so using SMT LEDs means more efficient, and of course cost control is better.
When did the SMT LED start?
Just like the mechanical keyboard counterattack brought by the CHERRY shaft, SMT is also opened by CHERRY.
In June 2014, the first CHERRY MX RGB shaft mechanical pirate ship K70, transparent shaft with SMT LED, provides a unique effect of the shaft and font at the same time, although the backlight brightness is slightly lower than the plug-in light, But it is not hurtful. From the development of the S70 LED of the K70 to today's military, it took only one year and 10 months to contend.
Although the CHERRY RGB axis must use SMT LEDs, the domestic RGB axis is not necessarily, but there are a few forward-looking brands that have begun to popularize SMT LEDs, as follows:
Considering the height of the shaft body, the SMT LED backlight effect will be more divergent and soft, and with the value of the face, RGB is destined to be the leader of the SMT LED mechanical keyboard.
Patch LED popular application is only a matter of time
“SMD is SMT (surface mount technology or surface mount technology) (short for Surface Mount Technology) and is currently the most popular technology and process in the electronics assembly industry.†It is a leadless or short lead Surface-mount components (referred to as SMC/SMD, Chinese called chip components) are mounted on the surface of a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) or other substrate, and are assembled by soldering or dip soldering. Circuit mounting technology.
Simply put, the SMT LED is the LED that is attached to the PCB. Its popularity is determined by the pursuit of the trend of advanced productivity and the continuous improvement of demand for subdivided products. Of course, there are good reasons for it:
1. The SMT LED process is highly efficient and low cost.
2.SMT LED perfectly supports plugging and unloading shafts for easy maintenance.
3. SMT LED makes the shaft glow, and the light pollution is more serious.
4. The Chinese market loves the “green axisâ€.
The green axis or the green axis (referred to as the click sound) almost occupies about 80% of the domestic brand mechanical keyboard market, because Chinese users think this is the machine, other axes are generally sold in domestic brands, but only in foreign brands. High, is this a half-dollar relationship with the popularity of SMT LEDs? See point 5.
5. The patch is advantageous for providing a crisper sound of the cyan axis.
After the SMT LED is used, especially the RGB lamp has a large 4-pin LED card light, and the vacancy is left on the shaft, and the light-transmitting aperture is left. In this way, the cavity between the entire key cap and the shaft becomes larger, so that the sound emitted by the two metal elastic pieces of the shaft has a better resonance cavity, which is why the bare shaft of the green shaft is not very crisp. But after the keyboard keycap, the sound immediately changed miraculously. I don't have much to say about the importance of the cavity. I am interested in going to the drum. In short, the larger the space under the shaft, the more crisp the sound of the green axis, especially the click sound of the cherry green axis will be perfect. Why the high-end level of large F, leopold does not favor the backlight machinery, just because They are pursuing the touch and the sound.
6. Leading brand driving effect.
Public opinion can be found that the first domestic machine to do SMT LED is Lei Bai, that V500RGB started a good start, after the Darwin mechanical alloy version 2 generation 87/108 RGB version, and later the nuclear division, all are SMT LED RGB mechanical keyboard. On the other hand, the use rate of mechanical keyboards in Internet cafes has increased significantly in the past two years. In view of the high usage rate of Internet cafes, it is inevitable that the maintenance volume will be large. The advantages of SMT LED support for plugging and unloading and maintenance will be the main brand of Internet cafes. Favor.
In summary, from the advantages of SMT LED and the trend of various market phenomena, although the trend of SMT LED is not a strong demand of the buyer's market (end user demand), the more mature mechanical keyboard market must be advanced. The productivity route can guarantee the production capacity and quality of the products, which is also a sign that the industry is mature.
