Frequently asked

What weights does the Xinhai come in?

Two: a light 37g (46g bottom-out) and a heavy 55g (62.5g bottom-out). The 37g suits gaming and light typists; the 55g is for people who like a firm, deliberate keystroke.

What does the Xinhai sound like?

Balanced and clacky without being harsh — there is brightness and pop, but the nylon housing keeps it from turning sharp or thin. It lands in the satisfying middle that most people are after.

Is the Xinhai good stock?

Yes. It is factory lubed, glides smoothly and has minimal stem wobble, so it performs well without any tuning.
