Kaihua NightShaft was launched less than half a year ago, and now there is a new upgraded version, Nightshade Axis PRO. Continuing the MX structure scheme, some adjustments have been made to the color matching. The main change is from a black transparent upper cover to a transparent upper cover, a black base, and a shaft core of the same color. The new color scheme will be a little more recognizable, while increasing the brightness of the light transmission. Only relatively speaking, the original color scheme is more in line with the name of the night axis, and it has a more inner flavor.
In addition to the color matching, the external change is also changed from a three-foot shaft to a five-foot shaft. The same distinguish between wired and paragraph two hand feel options. The latter paragraph is earlier and can be considered a silent advance paragraph. The parameters are slightly adjusted compared to the old model, the whole pressing process of the paragraph night axis PRO is lighter, the 40g trigger pressure, 55g bottom, and the rebound is better and lighter. Linear night axis PRO is still 40g trigger pressure, the bottom is heavier than the old version, 55g bottom, the rebound sense difference is not as obvious as the paragraph. And neither is too fleshy. In addition, the Linear Nocturnal Axis PRO, under careful comparison, significantly optimizes the viscosity of the previous version when pressed lightly (very slightly, the bare shaft deliberately presses to feel it). That is, with a gentle and slow press, the PRO version is smoother and more linear, while the paragraph version is not the case in both the old and new versions.
Both shafts are oiled from the factory, but they are more subtle than the old ones. Secondly, the base sidewall was changed to a two-pillar structure, which felt that it could reduce contact friction and improve smoothness. Despite this, the actual measurements show that the stability of the shaft core is still excellent, and there is no large shaking. Pressing on one side of the keycap triggered, I didn't feel shaky or stuck.
Among them, the night shaft PRO upgraded the new bottoming mute pad scheme, from the original shaft core column placed in the sound reduction pad to the external on both sides of the base, extending from the base side wall to the base. There is a larger area of the silencer pad, the bottom noise suppression is stronger, and the sound is almost the same as the whole bottom silencer pad scheme of the BOX deep-sea silent axis noise reduction belongs to the same level of performance, very quiet. It is also because the primer is larger, and the bottom of the night shaft PRO feels softer.
Linear Nightshade PRO, whether it is a bare shaft pressing or a keyboard tap, is significantly quieter than the paragraph Nightshade PRO. Therefore, to put extreme quiet first, there is no doubt that the linear nocturnal axis is preferred. Like strong advance tactile paragraph feedback, there is no extreme pursuit of silent performance, you can choose the paragraph version, and you can sit in the number according to your needs.
Overall, the biggest improvement of the Kaihua Night Axis PRO is the silent performance, which will carry out the quiet to the end. At the same time, the transparent upper cover is used to improve the brightness of the light and benefit the night lighting effect.
