What customers say
The SP Star Meteor White switches are celebrated for their exceptional out of box smoothness, offering a premium feel without modification. Users consistently praise the buttery, friction free travel, often comparing it favorably to pricier options. The acoustic profile is another major draw, described as pleasantly deep and satisfyingly thocky, avoiding harsh clackiness.

Overall, these switches are recognized as a high value favorite, successfully delivering enthusiast level smoothness and sound at an accessible price point.
Know before you buy
Yes, these are 5-pin switches compatible with most hot-swap mechanical keyboards. If your board only supports 3-pin switches, you can easily clip the two extra plastic legs off the bottom of the switch to make them fit.
The Meteor White uses a POM stem and nylon housing, which creates a noticeably smoother keystroke and a deeper, more resonant sound profile than standard polycarbonate or ABS switches.
Factory lubrication significantly reduces friction and eliminates scratchiness, providing a consistent, buttery-smooth feel right out of the box without you needing to manually lube them yourself.
Yes, these switches feature a standard MX-style cross stem, making them compatible with almost all aftermarket mechanical keyboard keycaps.
A 57g bottom-out force is considered a medium-light weight. It is light enough to prevent finger fatigue during long typing sessions, but provides enough resistance to avoid accidental key presses.
