Ajazz Diced Fruit Peach Switches

Ah, and now we get to the switches themselves. This too was a request, this time from Epomaker whom we have covered multiple times in the past now. Ajazz is one of the brands Epomaker works with, with Epomaker even helping out with the marketing and product design for some Ajazz-branded products. So when I heard that Ajazz was coming out with a "Fresh Fruit" line of switches in collaboration with Huano for the actual manufacturing, I was quite intrigued. The first of these came in the form of the Ajazz Diced Fruit Banana switch, which was the original plan for coverage. Then, and this happened just as I was finalizing the items for this article, Ajazz released the Diced Fruit Peach switches that ended up making the cut here. An even newer Diced Fruit Kiwi has since been announced and will release anytime now if it hasn't already by the time this article goes live.

Packaging for the Ajazz Diced Fruit switches currently appears to be identical, with the Huano involvement mentioned right away on the front of this small, cubical box. Each box contains 46 switches, so you need to order enough in multiples of 46, unfortunately. On the front is the switch series name and a fruit illustration, which may well be pointing out the family members of the series. Contact information for the company is seen on the back, along with a label that confirms the Peach switches are inside. More colors and marketing talk are seen on the sides—this is quite the fun little presentation.


Open the box held together by a single flap on the top without any seals and you will immediately be greeted by a jar lid. Depending on the packaging and transit, you may also see a switch. Ajazz ships these 46 switches in a 45+1 configuration with a loose switch in the box to be the amuse-bouche for the entree inside the plastic jar with a threaded and screwed-on lid. The two jars look quite enticing with the switches inside resembling confectionery, and there is even a pop-tab-style lid on each jar to make it all the more fun an unboxing experience. The jar can be used to store spare switches, too, which is more than can be said of most switch packaging.


The Ajazz x Huano Diced Fruit Peach switches many online also just refer to as the Ajazz Peach switches are a pale pink most of the way to match the fruit. This is the case with the top casing foremost, whereas the bottom is slightly redder. Both pieces are translucent and make for a color scheme that did remind me of the new Epomaker/Skyloong Chocolate switches. This translucency allows users to get a sneak peek at the internals, including the spring, contacts, and stem. I would have liked the stem to be yellow, which would be more in line with the more popular peach fruit around the world, but this is likely based on the white peach the color scheme matches nicely. The Ajazz Diced Fruit Peach switch is a 3-pin mechanical switch all said and done, making it compatible with the MarvoDIY Undefined 61 kit as well.


Taking apart one of these switches reveals a similar take on the MX stem-style mechanical switch, but look at that ridiculously long spring! It measured in at over 20 mm, and you need to be careful taking the switches apart since they can literally spring out and about. There is some reason to do so, even with Ajazz claiming the stem is pre-lubed. I did get my fingers slightly sticky, but there is barely any lube here to where I would recommend wiping it off and re-lubing these yourself if you are so inclined. A look at the stem also confirms the Ajazz Diced Fruit Peach switch is a linear switch, and I understand the Banana switch is tactile and clicky to differentiate the two, too. Actuation is no different from other such linear switches, with the bump in the plastic slider pushing the metal contacts together to complete the circuit and read by the USB microcontroller on the PCB. Actuation is rated at 2.0+/-0.2 mm at an actuation force of 40 +/-5 gf, with total travel 4.0+/-0.4 mm at a peak force of 50 +/-5 gf, which makes this relatively light and prone to bottoming out.
