How to identify switches on Ajazz Geek AK33 keyboards?
« on: Fri, 23 August 2024, 02:25:21 »
Is there a way to determine what type of switch a particular Ajazz Geek AK33 uses by reading the barcode on the back of the unit:

309488-0

Briefly, I need to replace a black switch (i.e. non-clicky) AK33 that has a defaced (hence no helpful barcode) label. 

Unfortunately, the people flogging used ones (all I can find) seem to know even less about keyboards than I do.*  While I suspect I may be on the wrong track with the barcode, I am hoping there is some sort of "tell" on these keyboards that reveals what keyswitches are installed on a particular unit at a glance. 

Can anyone help?

(And yes, I know: I can always ask a seller to prise off a keycap and take a photo.  However, I am seeking some way to quickly eliminate the clicky ones without having to pester every seller of every Ajazz I see.)

Alternatively, if anyone knows of a source for new, non-clicky units, I am all ears.  It isn't much fun playing guessing games with the people offering used ones, but as I say, used ones are all I can seem to find.



*Which I did not think was possible, but there you are.

1. Some interesting layout choices on this little guy.

2. Based on this pic from the Amazon listing's reviews, you maybe on to something that the bottom label could help you, but I'm afraid it would be a lot of research to track down images and cross-reference.

I use to be an Ajazz vendor a long long time ago. Ajazz uses Huano made switches in all their pre-builts. So if an AK33 comes with say Red, Blue or Black switches, it is most likely a Huano Red, Huano Black or Huano Blue etc. Hope that helps.
