Brief review of Kaihua light sound switch: quiet noise reduction, good hand feeling
As a well-known shaft manufacturer in China, Kaihua not only constantly innovates the conventional shaft, but also makes great achievements in the silent series shaft, which solves the pain points of some users well and wins praise from many users. Following the Yelan switch and the deep-sea mute switch, Kaihua has launched a new light-tone switch, which adopts an improved MX structure and a linear mute design. Next, follow the author to experience it.
The Kaihua light sound shaft adopts the traditional MX structure scheme, the transparent shaft cover design, the shaft center and the shaft seat are light pink, and the official color scheme is called "canvas white". It looks soft and delicate, and the visual experience is still very good. . The transparent shaft cover is made of high-transparency PC material, which can achieve better light transmission and scattering effects, and improve the keyboard lighting experience. The axis of the dust-proof wall structure can also bring more stable pressing performance, improve smoothness, and bring better tactile feedback to users. The shaft seat adopts a five-leg scheme, which not only maintains good compatibility, but also makes the shaft body more firmly fixed, further improving the user experience, and is also very friendly to users who like steel-free structures. In terms of quietness, this shaft body continues the internal noise reduction design of the Yelan series shaft body. Metal sheets and rubber pads are added to the shaft cover and shaft seat to further suppress various noises caused by the movement of the shaft center, and the hand feeling is also improved. There is no obvious impact, and the performance is still very good, taking into account the silence and the feel.
The shaft structure continues the MX scheme and has been further optimized. In addition to adding a limit metal sheet for noise reduction, the guide rail on the shaft seat has also been further adjusted according to the structure to ensure the smoothness and stability of the user's pressing. sex. The sound-absorbing structural parts inside the shaft body can reduce the impact sound of bottoming out and rebounding when the user knocks, and with the fine lubrication treatment that comes with the factory, it also has a good suppression performance for spring sound and friction sound, further improving Quiet performance of the shaft body. The transparent shaft cover adopts a large buckle structure, which is tightly fixed to the shaft seat, and the shaft center of the dust-proof wall structure can also bring a better sealing effect to the interior, avoiding the intrusion of dust and impurities, and ensuring the feel and durability. This shaft adopts a single-stage spring, which can provide a stable and linear pressing feel, and the rebound is also relatively close to the hand. The feedback processing of the feel is still very good.
The Kaihua light tone switch adopts the linear feel scheme, the trigger pressure is 45gf, the total stroke is 3.7mm, the trigger stroke is 1.9mm, and the service life can reach 80 million times. From the perspective of parameter setting, it is very suitable for users' daily use. In terms of knocking feel, the feel is neither light nor heavy, it is more moderate, the pressing is smooth and stable, and the bottoming rebound is also softer, and the overall stroke is more compact than ordinary shafts. This switch also does not have the sensuality of the common mute switch when it hits the bottom. The feel feedback is directly with the hand, and the rebound at the bottom is not sticky at all. In terms of quiet performance, the knock bottoming and rebound noise are well suppressed, there is no obvious impact sound, the spring sound and noise control are also in place, the sound control performance is very good, and it should be used in offices, dormitories or conference rooms Still enough.
The shaft cover made of fully transparent material has clear and clear lines, which also makes the shaft body look more three-dimensional and full. The color of the shaft center shaft seat is consistent, and it also has a good appearance performance. In terms of light performance, this shaft has good light transmission, and it also has a good divergent refraction effect on the keyboard light, making the light look softer and more natural, with a larger coverage area, which can bring better vision to users perception. The light position on the shaft cover adopts a planar light guide structure, which is easily compatible with mainstream RGB patches, etc. It can also take into account the current mainstream hot-swappable RGB keyboards, and the performance is still very good.
Summarize:
The Kaihua light tone shaft adopts a fully transparent shaft cover scheme, combined with the design of the light pink shaft center and shaft seat, the appearance is still very online. The optimization and adjustment of the internal structure and the addition of sound-absorbing structural parts ensure a smooth and stable feel, dry and neat, and at the same time bring a better mute effect, achieving both quietness and feel, and the overall performance is still very good. This switch is now officially on sale, and it is first installed on the Dareu Small Sugar Cube keyboard. Users who like it may wish to pay attention.
