Kaihua crystal wine red switch evaluation: the official whole life is the deadliest

Since the popularity of domestic switches, the rich feel and color matching have really captured many switch fans, and indirectly led to the attempts of customized players to combine switches. From replacing the spring to obtain different strength and feel, to replacing the fully transparent shaft shell and POM shaft to obtain a better look and smoother feel, etc., all kinds of trial operations emerge in endlessly, and the crystal wine red shaft is a lot of customization. After the player "stitches" the attempt, he obtains a relatively satisfactory collocation scheme. After combining the axis of Kaihua wine red Pro with the fully transparent shell of tourmaline blue, you can get the linear feel axis body that bottoms out in advance recognized by many customized players, and Kaihua also uses this as inspiration to launch I bought the official customized version of crystal wine red, and then follow the author to take a look.

Kaihua crystal wine red switch adopts the appearance scheme of fully transparent shell and wine red axis, and the interior adopts the scheme of gold-plated spring and gold-plated shrapnel, which has a high degree of recognition in appearance. The heart also plays a very good visual embellishment effect, and the look and feel is still very good. The crystal wine red switch adopts the traditional MX structure scheme, and the cross axis also brings good keycap compatibility performance. With the five-pin axis base scheme, it can be easily compatible with most of the mechanical keyboards currently on the market. The shaft cover and shaft seat are made of high-transparency PC material, and the shaft center is made of POM material, which has good self-lubricating properties. Hollow light position processing, also has good compatibility with SMD lights and plug-in lights, and is very friendly to RGB keyboard lovers.

In terms of parameter setting, Kaihua's official crystal wine red switch adopts a linear feel scheme, with a total stroke of 3.4mm, a trigger stroke of 1.3mm, a trigger force of 37gf and a trigger life of 50 million times. The transparent shaft cover adopts the four-corner buckle fixing method, which is tightly connected with the shaft seat, which can further reduce the possibility of foreign matter entering the shaft body, and the shaft body pins also have high hardness, and it is not easy to be bent and damaged after repeated plugging and unplugging. The burgundy cross axis adopts the lengthening scheme, which not only reduces the key travel, but also brings the feel performance of touching the bottom in advance. It uses a single-stage gold-plated long spring inside, which can provide a more linear pressing feel and slightly stronger. rebound feedback. The interior of the shaft body has also been lubricated, which can further improve the smoothness of pressing and noise reduction performance, but the consistency of factory lubrication performance still needs to be improved.

In terms of pressing feel, the trigger pressure of 37gf brings a very light and smooth feel performance, which is very friendly to users who like light-pressure linear axes. The feedback of early bottoming is moderate, with a slight top feel, and the rebound performance is relatively neat, and the overall feel performance is still relatively good. However, the traditional cross axis structure also makes this axis shake to a certain extent when pressing, especially when it touches the bottom, the shaking is most obvious. For players who require a high feel, they should also pay more attention when matching keycaps. . Due to the linear feel and early bottoming setting, the feel feedback of this switch is biased toward a tough and crisp adjustment style. The metal PCB with a traditional keyboard has more obvious sound feedback on bottoming, and the Gasket with a soft elastic orientation. The structural keyboard can improve the tactile feedback to a certain extent and reduce the percussion noise.

The fully transparent PC shaft shell has a good performance on the keyboard lighting. The almost transparent shell material is more crystal clear and transparent under the light. Users who like RGB lighting can also turn on the keyboard lighting as much as they like, creating their own desktop lighting atmosphere and bringing a more immersive desktop lighting experience. The hollow lamp position solution can also be easily compatible with most types of lamp beads. Whether using a hot-swappable keyboard or self-assembly welding, there is no need to worry too much about the compatibility of the lamp beads, and the five-pin shaft seat solution can also allow no Steel users don't have to worry about crooked shafts.

Summarize:

The crystal wine red switch officially launched by Kaihua largely restores the "Crystal Wine Red Switch" that was mixed and matched by customized players. User preferences, the price of about 2.7 yuan / piece is also relatively close to the people. However, the consistency and shaking of the factory run are also issues that many users are more concerned about. If the above two points can be handled well, I believe it will be liked by more users.
