Lao Zhang’s Brief Commentary Chapter 20: Classic or Classic--Getting Started with MX Cream

For the classic star shaft like the Kaihua cream shaft, it is quite capable even now. The cream color of the MX cream switch is still full of charm in today's colorful color-changing switches. As a classic star switch, it has become popular again recently. This time, it is not only because of the switch itself, but also because the Heijue AK966 keyboard is the first to be equipped with this star switch, which is indeed rare in mass-produced keyboards. Its cost performance has been improved to a higher level, and the key ring is getting more and more rolled. Let's review this classic star-Kaihua MX cream switch.

The whole body of the Kaihua MX cream shaft is designed with a cream color scheme. This milk color is not milk white, but more like milk white ice cream. The shaft body is good-looking in appearance, and is also very eye-catching in terms of recognition. Since the entire shaft body is made of POM material, POM is a material with self-lubricating properties, so that the shaft body itself still has a smooth pressing performance after long-term use. The bottom of the shaft seat adopts a five-pin scheme, which is now commonplace, and is compatible with most of the current hot-swappable keyboards.

The MX cream shaft adopts the classic MX structure, and the shaft cover adopts a four-leg buckle fixing scheme. The old version of the cream shaft was loosely connected between the shaft cover and the shaft seat. At that time, players would add paper between the shafts to increase stability. Kai Hua also keeps upgrading the mold to strengthen the stability. The new version no longer needs inter-axle paper. Both the stability of the shaft center and the connection of the shaft cover should be more stable. As for the current version of the mold, it is not very clear. .

As mentioned earlier, the MX cream shaft is a new version. The comparison found that except for the difference between the new and old shaft cover logos, there is no obvious difference in other aspects. Compared with the old version, there is no spring sound in terms of sound.

After being installed on the keyboard, the MX cream switch and the light-colored positioning board still have a good appearance and a comfortable look and feel. The switch body adopts a structural scheme of bridging the upper cover, which is compatible with the current mainstream SMD lamp beads or Two-legged and four-legged lamp beads, although there is no rib in the lamp hole of the shaft cover, the stability performance is still satisfactory. Due to the material, the shaft cover is not transparent enough. Thanks to the large light hole, the RGB lighting performance has not been weakened too much, and it still brings a good lighting atmosphere performance from multiple angles. For users who like lighting effects, it is still very balanced.

The MX cream shaft adopts a classic linear feel scheme, with a trigger pressure of 55g, a bottoming pressure of 70g, a total stroke of 4mm, and a trigger stroke of 2mm. It is not a light-pressure shaft body in terms of parameters, but in fact, the hand does not have a high-pressure feel. , simply speaking, it is lighter than the black axis than the red axis, and the pressure of the cream axis is obtained by taking the pressure. The shaft feels straight up and down, which is not very novel. The rebound follows the hand, the bottom is stable, and the feel performance is still very good. The long stroke can effectively avoid false touches in daily use. The high pressure is also very good for gamers who need precise operation or users who like a little more force. Not bad, whether it is in the letter area or in the large key position, it can also do a good job in various usage scenarios.

MX cream shaft is a shaft body launched in 19 years, whether it is the old version at that time or the new version updated after 3 years, it is a unique product at the current point of time, with a high degree of recognition, and constantly The innovative upgrades only bring users a fresher feel experience. Heijue’s AK966 is the first mass-produced keyboard equipped with the new version of MX ice cream switches. Pay attention.
