Key pin and mechanical keyboard

Abstract

The application discloses a key pin which is applied to a mechanical keyboard. The key pin comprises a shell which is provided with a first socket and a second socket. A first metal elastic sheet is fixed in the first socket. A second metal elastic sheet is fixed in the second socket. One side of the key pin is provided with a first metal connecting member. One end of the first metal connecting member is inserted in the shell and used for being connected with the first metal elastic sheet arranged in the first socket. The other end of the first metal connecting member is used for being connected with a printed circuit board PCB. One side of the key pin is also provided with a second metal connecting member. One end of the second metal connecting member is inserted in the shell and used for being connected with the second metal elastic sheet arranged in the second socket. The other end of the second metal connecting member is used for being connected with the PCB. Therefore, a key does not need to be welded with the PCB through application of the key pin, quick oxidation does not occur and the service life of the key is prolonged. The key pin is applied so that the key can be detachably installed, and thus user experience can be enhanced.

Description

Technical field [0001] This application relates to the field of keyboards, in particular to a key pin and a mechanical keyboard. Background technique [0002] Mechanical keyboard (English: MechanicalKeyboard) is a type of keyboard. In terms of structure, each key of the mechanical keyboard has a separate Switch (that is, switch) to control closing. It is precisely because each button is composed of an independent micro-motion, so the button has a strong sense of paragraph, which produces a special feel suitable for gaming and entertainment. Therefore, it is usually used as a relatively expensive high-end gaming peripheral and is also an ideal device for programmers. . [0003] At present, the mechanical keyboards on the market all use plug-in MX shaft bodies, but this shaft body exists in the form of plug-ins. The mechanical keys of the plug-in will have the following two production processes when assembling the mechanical keyboard: [0004] First, insert the shaft; fix the shaft b...

Problems solved by technology

But there is a problem, the acid in the flux will be atomized during the baking process, and enter all the places where the mist can enter, such as the metal contacts of the buttons, so that the metal contacts of the buttons will also be removed once , it will not be reflected in a short time, after a long time (the acidity of the flux is eliminated) the contacts of the buttons will be oxidized, and the oxide on the surface of the contacts will make the buttons non-conductive

No matter which brand of mechanical keyboard or which factory produces it, there are more or less existing ones, but the same thing is: the mechanical keys have been polluted by flux, which relatively shortens the life of the keys and directly affects the mechanical keyboard. life span

[0006] Moreover, the buttons in the mechanical keyboard in the prior art are directly welded to the PCB, so that when a certain button is damaged or malfunctions, the user cannot replace or repair it by himself, and can only return it to the factory for repair or find a professional to repair it, which affects the user experience.
