Mechanical Keyboard Shaft

A mechanical keyboard shaft is the part of a mechanical keyboard that connects the keycap to the switch. The shaft is typically made of metal and is inserted into the switch, which then snaps onto the keycap. The shaft is what provides the resistance and tactile feedback that is characteristic of mechanical keyboards. Mechanical keyboard shafts are available in different sizes and styles, depending on the specific type of switch being used. Some common types of mechanical keyboard shafts include: Cherry MX style shafts: These shafts are compatible with Cherry MX style switches, which are the most popular type of mechanical keyboard switch. They are available in different lengths and diameters to fit different Cherry MX switch sizes. Topre style shafts: These shafts are compatible with Topre switches, which are a type of mechanical keyboard switch that uses a rubber dome to provide resistance and tactile feedback. Topre shafts are typically longer and thicker than Cherry MX shafts. Kailh style shafts: These shafts are compatible with Kailh switches, which are a type of mechanical keyboard switch that is similar to Cherry MX switches. Kailh shafts are available in different lengths and diameters to fit different Kailh switch sizes.
