Understanding Tray Mount Mechanical Keyboards
Tray mount is a foundational design in the world of mechanical keyboards, known for its simplicity and firm typing feel. If you're considering a tray mount keyboard or want to learn more, we've answered some common questions to guide you.
What is a tray mount mechanical keyboard?
A tray mount mechanical keyboard features a design where the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is screwed directly into standoffs integrated into the keyboard's bottom case, which often resembles a tray. This creates a relatively rigid typing experience as the plate (if present) and PCB assembly are directly coupled to the case.
What are the benefits of a tray mount design?
Tray mount keyboards are often more affordable and simpler in construction. They provide a very direct and firm typing feedback due to the minimal flex. This design is also common in many readily available pre-built mechanical keyboards and some custom keyboard kits, offering wide accessibility.
Are there any downsides to tray mount keyboards?
The primary potential downside is typing inconsistency. Keys near screwing points can feel stiffer than keys in the center of the board. Sound can also be less uniform. However, various modifications like adding foam or O-rings (burger mount) can mitigate these issues.
Can I customize a tray mount mechanical keyboard?
Absolutely! Tray mount keyboards are highly customizable. You can easily swap keycaps, switches (if hot-swappable), and even add dampening materials like case foam or PCB foam to alter the sound and feel. Some enthusiasts also experiment with different plate materials for their custom keyboard.
Is a tray mount keyboard good for gaming?
Yes, many gamers appreciate the firm and responsive feel of a tray mount mechanical keyboard. The direct feedback can be advantageous for fast-paced gaming. The wide availability of tray mount keyboards in various layouts also means you can find one that suits your gaming setup.
How does tray mount compare to other mounting styles like gasket mount?
Tray mount offers a stiffer typing feel, while gasket mount uses Poron or rubber strips to isolate the plate/PCB from the case, resulting in a softer, bouncier, and often quieter typing experience. The choice between them depends heavily on personal preference for feel and sound. Tray mounts are generally simpler and more cost-effective for a mechanical keyboard.
