The difference between mechanical keyboard dustproof switches and non-dustproof switches
2025-07-31
The key difference between dustproof and non-dustproof mechanical keyboard switches lies in the switch structure and protection performance. The specific differences are as follows:
1. Switch Structure Differences
Dustproof Switches
Dust-Proof Wall Design: A dust-proof wall is added around the switch core (such as the Huannuo Dust-Proof Tea Switch), creating a physical barrier to prevent dust from entering the switch, maintaining a consistent feel.
Double-Layer Protection: Some dustproof switches use a double-layer shell or silicone seal to further prevent the intrusion of hair and particles.
Lubrication: Dustproof switches often apply grease to the core and contacts to reduce friction and extend life.
Non-Dustproof Switches
Open Structure: Traditional MX switches (such as Cherry original switches) lack a dust-proof wall, allowing dust to easily enter through the gaps in the cross-core.
External Cleaning: Regularly clean dust with a brush or hair dryer, otherwise it can cause sticking or oxidation.
II. Typical Application Recommendations
Dust-resistant switch keyboards: Suitable for esports players or industrial environments, such as TTC mechanical keyboards with dust-resistant switches, which offer fast actuation and are dirt-resistant.
Non-dust-resistant switch keyboards: More suitable for users who prefer a genuine feel, such as Cherry Blue switches, which offer a strong click feel but require regular maintenance.
III. Purchasing Recommendations
For environments with high dust content: Dust-resistant switches (such as Huannuo Dust-resistant Brown switches or Gaote Dust-resistant switches) are preferred.
For those prioritizing feel: If the environment is clean, traditional switches (such as Cherry Red switches) can still provide a more authentic typing experience.
