- Tripod shaft design for mechanical keyboards - Two metal pins and a center column, built for keyboards with steel plates - Compatible with Filco, BURJUMAN, Ducky and customized keyboards that use positioning plates - Color variants and durability - Shafts available in different colors to suit different hand feels - Durability tested with approximately 50 million laboratory tests, delivering stable and reliable quality - G axis naming and dust-proof design - G axis refers to Gateron, Chinese name Jiadalon; also known as A axis in some references - Characterized by a dust-proof design, hence described by some players as a dust-proof shaft - The opposite Cherry axis is referred to as C axis - Contact quality and construction - G axis contacts use a gold layer twice the thickness of the C axis at any cost - Contacts are pressed with gold alloy rather than low-cost gold-plated contacts - G axis contacts are slightly larger in diameter than C axis contacts, and the gold layer covers the entire contact - The contact spring (shrapnel) is thicker, reducing the risk of bending or breaking the C axis pins - Use scenarios and applications - Scenario 1: Replacing shafts in keyboards with steel plates such as Filco, BURJUMAN, and Ducky to improve stability and alignment - Scenario 2: Building customized mechanical keyboards with positioning plates to ensure reliable key performance and durability - Scenario 3: For long-term gaming or typing, where dust-proof design and reinforced contacts contribute to consistent feel and extended lifespan
