Scissors foot keyboard is also called “
X-structure” keyboard, which refers to the structure under the key is “X-shaped”.
The
advantages of scissors foot keyboard are as follows: 1,
The height of the keycap:
The average height of traditional desktop computer keyboard keycap
module is 20mm and notebook computer is 6mm, while “X-structure” is 10mm. Owning
to the advantage of “X-structure”, the keycap height was reduced to be almost
the same with notebook computer, that’s the prerequisite of “X-structure”
keyboard becomes the ultra slim keyboard.
2,
key travel
Every
coin has its two sides. Key travel is an important parameter of keyboard and
decides on the touch feeling of the keyboard. According to the previous
experience, reduce the keycap height can lower the key travel. Although the
notebook keys are soft, the touch feeling can still be not good due to the
short key travel. The traditional desktop keycaps’ key travel is generally
accepted by customers. The desktop key travel is 3.8-4.0mm, while the notebook
key travel is 2.5-3.0mm. “X-structure” keyboard inherits the key travel from
desktop keyboard. The touch feeling is as comfortable as notebook keyboard.
3 Click
force: When
you click the keycap from five different points, namely the top left corner,
the top right corner, the bottom left corner, the bottom right corner and the
center, you will find keycap instability from different click points. That’s
the disadvantage of traditional keyboard. It needs big click force but
unstable, causing hands fatigue. The balanced “X-structure” ensures the click
force consistency. It makes the force shared on every pint, which is small and
balanced. “X-structure” is comfortable with good touch feeling. 4,key-pressing
noise: The
key-pressing noise of “X-structure” is 45, that’s 2~11dB lower than traditional keyboard.
