Introduction of domestic switches for mechanical keyboards - Jiadalong and Kaihua

In the past two years, the development of domestic switches has become more and more mature and the patent of Cherry switches has expired. The monopoly position of Cherry switches is declining. Domestic mechanical keyboard manufacturers have also begun to increase their investment in self-developed switches. Among them, Jiadalong and Kaihua are two of the better ones.

The Jiadalong G-axis is a Cherry-like axis, and the overall feel has surpassed that of the Cherry axis. At present, Jiadalong has become popular and its market share in foreign countries is getting higher and higher. The mass-produced keyboards represented by Jiadalong switches mainly include the Beijing-made series.

Jiadalong G-axis is mainly divided into 7 kinds of black black tea, green, white, yellow and green. Among them, black, black, tea and green have a similar feel to the original Cherry switch, and the rest of the three switches can be understood according to the difference in grams of pressure. The green switch is 20g heavier than the green switch, the yellow switch is 5g heavier than the red switch, and the white switch is 5g heavier than the white switch. It is 10g lighter than the red axis.

As a representative of domestic shafts, Kaihua shafts have developed rapidly in recent years, and now Kaihua shafts have occupied half of the domestic shaft market.

Kaihua’s most well-known star switch is the Kaihua BOX switch. The BOX switch is mainly divided into seven types: white, black, tea, red, blue, orange, and yellow. Among them, box white and box red are the most famous. Today, in fact, the use feel of the domestic shaft body is not inferior to the cherry shaft at all, so there is no need to be superstitious about the Cherry shaft that some manufacturers say.
