3. Einrichtung und Installation

Installing your BSun Litchi switches requires careful handling to prevent damage to the switches or your keyboard PCB.

1. Vorbereitung: Ensure your keyboard PCB is clean and free of debris. If replacing existing switches, gently remove them using a switch puller.
2. Ausrichtung: Align the two metal pins on the bottom of the switch with the corresponding holes on the keyboard PCB. Ensure the central stem and any additional plastic pins (if present) also align with their respective slots.
3. Einfügung: Gently press the switch into the PCB until it clicks into place. For hot-swappable PCBs, minimal force is required. For soldered PCBs, ensure the switch is fully seated before soldering the pins.
4. Testen: After installing a few switches, test them using a key tester or by connecting the keyboard to a computer to ensure each switch registers correctly.

Caution: Applying excessive force during installation can bend or damage the switch pins or the PCB sockets.

4. Bedienungsanleitung

The BSun Litchi Switch is a linear switch, meaning it provides a smooth, uninterrupted keystroke from top to bottom without any tactile bump or audible click.

• Betätigung: The switch actuates at approximately 2.1mm of travel with an operating force of 45gf.
• Bottom-out: The switch bottoms out at 3.6mm of total travel with a bottom force of 55gf.

5. Wartung

Proper maintenance can extend the lifespan and performance of your switches.

• Reinigung: Periodically clean your keyboard to prevent dust and debris from entering the switches. Use compressed air to dislodge particles.
• Schmierung: These switches are factory-lubricated. Additional lubrication is generally not required unless you prefer a different feel or are performing advanced modifications. If re-lubricating, use lubricants specifically designed for mechanical keyboard switches.
• Lagerung: Store unused switches in a dry, dust-free environment.

6. Fehlerbehebung

If you encounter issues with your BSun Litchi switches, consider the following:

• Schalter registriert sich nicht:
  • Stellen Sie sicher, dass der Schalter vollständig in der Leiterplatte eingerastet ist.
  • Check for bent pins. If a pin is bent, carefully straighten it with tweezers before reinserting.
  • If using a hot-swappable PCB, try swapping the problematic switch with a known working one to isolate if the issue is with the switch or the PCB socket.
• Uneinheitliches Gefühl:
  • This could be due to uneven factory lubrication or debris inside the switch.
  • If comfortable, you may carefully open the switch (using a switch opener) to inspect for debris or to re-lubricate.
• Key Chatter (Multiple Inputs):
  • This is often a PCB issue, but can sometimes be related to a faulty switch. Try replacing the switch.
