Ease of use and durability is the key, the cherry switch keyboard ten years ago can still play

To evaluate whether a product is good or bad should be based on objective facts.

From my personal experience, I bought the first mechanical keyboard in my life ten years ago. It was a FILCO Ninja 2 with cherry tea switches. Intensive use, I have used Coke and water during the period, and now there is no problem with washing the keycaps to remove dust, and the most rare thing is that the feel of the switch body is the same as when I first bought it.

When I bought the CHERRY shaft, it still has a lifespan of 5000W and can be used until now without any problems. From this point of view, the quality of the Cherry shaft is good and the lifespan is long. And now the lifespan of CHERRY has been upgraded to 100 million times. Alright, when will this be used. In addition, there are not a few friends around me who have used a cherry switch mechanical keyboard for more than five years. The reason is probably related to Cherry’s unique gold contact technology. The trigger point of each axis is made of 99.99% pure gold. The gold is durable and corrosion-resistant, making each axis durable. The percussion life is as high as more than 100 million times! There is also Cherry's strict quality control and insisting on importing from German craftsmen.

This is not to say that the current domestic shafts are not so good. In fact, I personally think that the domestic Kaihua, Jialongda, TTC and other brands of shafts are also quite good. For example, Kaihua’s BOX shaft is made of POM dustproof. Waterproof; Jialongda’s G PRO switches are of high quality, low price and high cost performance; TTC also has gold powder switches with extended springs, fast silver switches that are triggered in advance, etc. These various domestic switches give us more room for choice and more options. A chance to get an excellent typing experience with a mechanical keyboard at a low price. It’s just that they haven’t been with me for as long as I use the cherry switch keyboard, or I don’t have the opportunity to use some of them for a long time, so the longevity is really open to question.

In addition to the long service life, the five classic shafts of Cherry switches have been tested by the market for many years, and they feel stable and unified, and they will last forever. On the other hand, many domestic switches, although they are constantly introducing new ones, are not in place in the control of the feel and quality control, which leads to the situation that many people have a fever when they buy them.

In JD.com's keyboard category rankings on Double 11 last year, cherry-axis keyboards accounted for a high proportion

Looking at the current high-end mechanical keyboard market, Cherry switch products still occupy a large market share, and most of the domestic switch products are still difficult to hit the price of more than 500 yuan, which fully shows that the Cherry switch body has been used by a large number of people. High-end gamers and enthusiasts recognize that after all, everyone is not a fool with a lot of money. Only a really good product can gain a firm foothold in the mechanical keyboard market where there are many competing products.

Most of the keyboards priced above 500 yuan on JD.com and other mainstream e-commerce platforms are cherry switches.

The above is why I think most friends who want to start with mechanical keyboards prefer to choose cherry switches. After all, when you face a variety of switch keyboards on the market, even if you don’t want to spend too much time thinking about each When choosing which shaft is good or bad, or when you go to an offline physical store to try one by one, you can never go wrong with choosing a cherry shaft with your eyes closed. This is also one of the disadvantages when buying domestic shafts. There are too many parameters and it is very messy. It is very unfriendly to consumers if you really have to choose. After all, decision-making also takes time, especially for friends who regard time as money.

Finally, I would like to talk about my own point of view. I personally think that no matter what the shaft is, as long as you feel suitable and you like it, you can buy it boldly, and you don’t have to pay too much attention to other people’s comments on the Internet. After all, the one that suits you is the best. Moreover, whether it is a cherry switch or a domestic switch, the price of mechanical keyboards is generally relatively affordable. If you buy a keyboard that is not suitable after using it for a while, then buy another one that you think is suitable. It’s fine, don’t worry about it too much, instead of spending a lot of time picking and choosing these small things, it’s better to think about how to earn more and enjoy all the happiness I want, don’t you think?

In the end, I would like to recommend a few useful mechanical keyboards to everyone. The abundance and frugality are up to you, and you are welcome to take them away.
