3. Seadistamine ja installimine

These switches are designed for hot-swappable mechanical keyboard PCBs. Ensure your keyboard supports 3-pin MX-style switches before attempting installation.

Paigaldamise etapid:

1. Prepare Your Keyboard: Ensure your keyboard is powered off and disconnected from your computer. If keycaps are installed, carefully remove them using a keycap puller.
2. Align the Switch: Hold the switch with the two metal pins aligned with the corresponding holes on the keyboard's PCB. The larger central stem should also align with its hole.
3. Lüliti sisestamine: Gently press the switch into the PCB until it clicks into place. Ensure both metal pins are straight and fully inserted without bending.
4. Testi funktsionaalsus: After installing a few switches, connect your keyboard and test their functionality using a keyboard testing tool or by typing.
5. Install Remaining Switches: Repeat the process for all desired keys.
6. Reattach Keycaps: Once all switches are installed and tested, carefully reattach your keycaps.

For specific instructions regarding your keyboard's hot-swap sockets or LED installation, please refer to your keyboard's user manual.

The KAILH Cream Speed Pro MX switches offer distinct typing experiences based on their color variant:

• Pro Burgundy: These switches provide a smooth, linear feel with a subtle tactile curve at the very beginning of the press. They are ideal for users who prefer a consistent, non-clicky keystroke with a hint of feedback.
• Pro Purple: Designed for a pronounced tactile experience, these switches feature a strong and smooth bump during actuation. They offer satisfying feedback without a distinct click, making them suitable for typing and gaming where tactile response is desired.
• Pro Light Green: These switches are clicky, producing an audible click sound upon actuation. They offer a consistent and pleasant click, providing clear auditory feedback for each keystroke, similar to traditional clicky switches.

The SMD 3 Pin RGB design allows for vibrant backlighting, which can be customized via your keyboard's software or onboard controls. Refer to your keyboard's manual for RGB lighting configuration.

5. Hooldus

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your switches.

Puhastamine:

• Regularly remove keycaps and use compressed air to clear dust and debris from around the switches.
• For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush or a cotton swab lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol to clean the switch housing, avoiding direct contact with the internal components.

Määrimine (valikuline):

While not strictly necessary, lubricating switches can enhance smoothness and alter sound profiles. This process requires disassembling the switch and applying specialized lubricant. If you choose to lubricate, research proper techniques and use lubricants specifically designed for mechanical keyboard switches to avoid damage.

Hoiustamine:

Store unused switches in a dry, dust-free environment, preferably in their original packaging or an anti-static container.
