The type of shaft body
Before we can understand the shaft, we must first understand the type of shaft. There are not many types of shafts, which can be roughly divided into two basic types:Linear and paragraph axes
Linear axis:The feedback comes entirely from the pressure feedback of the spring, and there is no interference between the shaft core and the metal moving plate. To put it simply, it is straight up and straight down, the bottoming speed is faster, and the feel is more modest, but it is very versatile.
Paragraph axis:The tactile feedback comes from the pressure feedback of the spring and the interference between the shaft and the metal moving plate, and there will be a momentary pressure change when striking. To put it simply, you will feel a bulge when pressing, and after breaking through the bulge, the resistance gradually decreases, as if it was pressed in two sections.
Base shaft bodyIn fact, the basic shaft body can also be understood as the cherry shaft body, the cherry company's shaft body can be said to be the ancestor of the keyboard shaft body, and there are 4 major shafts that have been handed down at present:Black axis, red axis, blue axis, brown axis.
Black shaft
Type: Linear axis
There is no sense of paragraphs, straight up and down, and it is necessary to press hard, but the key travel is short and the rebound is fast, which is more suitable for users who play games and have a heavier feel.
Red axis
Type: Linear axis
There is no sense of paragraphs, straight up and down, but the trigger pressure is small, you don't need to press too hard, and the feel is lighter when you tap, which is suitable for users who play for a long time.
Blue shaft
Type: Paragraph axis
The percussion is crisp, the sound is crisp, the mechanical sense is strong, and the percussion sense is strong, which is the representative of the mechanical keyboard. Ideal for users who type for long periods of time and like a crisp hitting feel.
Brown shaft
Type: Paragraph axis
A more balanced shaft body, a combination of red and blue switches of the dual advantages, the sense of passage is lower than the blue axis, known as the "golden oil" in the shaft body, many users with office game needs will choose the brown switch or the keyboard with a brown switch feel.
ASUS self-developed shaft bodyASUS's self-developed shafts are mainly divided into two categories:NX mechanical switches and RX optical-mechanical switches,Mainly used in ROG keyboard products, these two major switches are very popular and sought after by gamers in today's keyboard market.
NX mechanical switches
There are now 5 main types of NX mechanical switches, namely Snow Dance White Axis (line**; red-like axis), hawthorn red axis (line**; red-like axis), icestorm gray axis (paragraph sense; cyan axis), glacial blue axis (sense of passage; cyan axis), Mocha brown axis (paragraph sense; Brown-like shafts).
ASUS's in-house NX mechanical switches are better than industry standards, with a force tolerance of +-5 and +-0With 4mm of key travel, you can provide gamers with a consistent keystroke feel for a better gaming experience.
At the same time, the return point clearance of the NX axis is extremely low, which makes the pressing stroke of the shaft more stable and easy to control.
Overall, the feel, trigger stroke, and pressure standard of the NX mechanical switch can give players a perfect experience.
To put it bluntly, this shaft body is in today'sIt is already one of the top shafts on the market.

RX optical-mechanical switches
Compared with the traditional mechanical switch, the RX optical-mechanical axis triggers close to 0 delay, allowing your reaction to always be one step ahead of the enemy. red-like axis), RX blue axis (paragraph sense; cyan axis).
In addition, the RX optical-mechanical axis uses a special square crater structure and a four-corner fixed base to eliminate key shaking, and the design of the X-structure stabilizer ensures that it can be used stably no matter what angle it is struck.
The RX optical-mechanical axis has **LED, which takes the form of center light, which makes the light effect more concentrated and creates a better button lighting effect.
The life of the RX optical mechanical switch is also up to 100 million strokes, far exceeding the service life of traditional mechanical keyboards.
To put it simply, this switch body was born for gaming e-sportsLonger life, more stable feel and lower firing delayIn games that require "racing against the clock", you can really be one step ahead.
