After the success of the big L's FC980M, everyone rushed to imitate, this year's domestic 98 keys are particularly many, spanning 1 to 4 lines of brands, it is not an exaggeration to say that a brand has 98. PBT dye sublimation, customized shaft aside, follow the trend of hot plug, RGB, three-mode and GASKET is also the norm. But I don't care much about these, I've recently been interested in a static capacitor on Daryou, if I remember correctly, only the big L has been out of the 98 key electrostatic capacitance before, so the whole network searched, and there are really only these two.
The same as the electrostatic capacitance, we know that the electrostatic capacitance of L is TOPRE OEM, and REALFORCE, HHKB is the same Japanese technology, and the static capacitance of A98 launched by Daryou Cold, it is our Chinese technology, let's see what is the difference between the two? Talk about them today, and I will turn over this original 98 electrostatic capacitance at the bottom of the pressure box.
This static capacitance is collected in 2017, L just out of the 98 key not long ago, now open it is still as "new" as the original, in fact, this gray and white style is too retro, has been maintained so that you can not see the traces of the years, there is no outdated. At present, the L's 98-key mechanical version of the color matching is very rich, and has just completed the mold and Bluetooth upgrade. And this one may be today I remove the dust, immediately continue to enter the dust seal, if it is not A98, I really can't remember it.
This is the Daryou A98 electrostatic capacitive version, the appearance is the same as the first of the three-mode version, called mech.
Although the shell, chamfer and keyboard color matching are not the same, but from the figure is very intuitive to see, the layout of the A98 is obviously imitating the L FC980M layout, but look closely there is a difference, it is less than a key, only 97 keys, netizens joked that it should be called A97, there are also said to avoid being L sued, in fact, copy 980M too much, but also can not be sued. What is the difference between the two? There is no difference in appearance, just pull off a few keycaps.
The central crater structure of Japan's hydrostatic capacitance was also used by the "key emperor" at that time, but it is a pity that the power of this mechanical keyboard cannot grow too fast. This button structure is not called the axis, can not work independently, it is just a pressing tool, conduction on the circuit board, naturally it can not be unplugged, mechanical customization of the gameplay everyone do not think too much.
There is also a very different from the mechanical, in addition to the space has a similar satellite axis, the other large keys are built-in balance rod (under the black shell), which can play a certain physical protection, but it is more likely to shield the external electromagnetic interference with the electrostatic capacitance.
Those who have played Japanese electrostatic capacitance know that the old structure of 980C is not universal mechanical keyboard keycaps, it is similar to the structure of large mouth sleeves and small mouths, so the keycaps are specially made. The 980C uses PBT sublimation, which was only a low-key process to solve the wear and tear of characters at that time, and was not used to make a variety of gorgeous patterns, and even developed into a theme keyboard.
Daryou has rich experience in doing machinery, the shaft body multi-keycap process is also developing fast, A98 uses a mix-and-match combination of PBT two-color and dye sublimation, reducing costs while ensuring the richness of color matching, this effect is still good from the sales point of view.
From the outside, the static capacitance of A98 and the conventional mechanical shaft is no different, with a dust-proof wall, it is understood that in the keycaps, satellite shafts, welding feet, LED lights and positioning plates what are basically common, the biggest difference is in the conduction technology, and the electrostatic capacitance can be naturally all free without diodes.
From the LOGO on the shaft body shows that this is The innovative electrostatic capacitance technology of Li chi, which should have at least two chips on the circuit board, the capacitor shaft is a "contactless" structure, there are metal electrodes inside to form a capacitor, with the change of the down pressure distance and lead to changes in the capacitance value, and then through the algorithm of the capacitance value to achieve conduction determination, it does not matter contact and contact oxidation, there is a high degree of consistency, the advantages of resistance.
Looking at the electrostatic capacitance button of the 980C, the same capacitive conduction, but everyone is a completely different technical structure.
Of course, there is a price in appearance and style, the two are very different and do not look like a class of products at all, but they are really static capacitance, the technology difference is decades, talk about the specific feel difference, this may be more grounded than popular science technology.
A98's China's Li Chi electrostatic capacitive shaft, is a mechanical feel, this burgundy shaft belongs to the linear axis, the force and MX red axis close, touch the bottom 60gf, pressing smoothness good rebound speed is very fast, feel silky, rustling sound is small, the key is to do this in the case of not running the shaft. In addition, the guide core is also stable when bottoming out, and the whole percussion feel is more like TTC's gold powder shaft.
FC980C's Japanese electrostatic capacitance, although there is a tapered spring, but mainly for electrode use, this spring strength in front of the silicone bowl is not worth mentioning, so the keys of this structure are basically film feel, the keys are quiet but the rebound is slower, the paragraph sense is clear but meat, more Q bullets.
In addition, in the height design of the keycaps, the FC980C is also more Japanese, especially the lower two rows, and the A98 is a more standard OEM height. This will also bring a different experience, I personally still am not used to 980C, pressure box bar.
Well, the formulas are correct, and making them so different must be something wrong ^_^
