Know before you buy
These switches feature a shorter pre-travel distance of 1.2mm compared to standard mechanical switches. This allows for faster actuation, meaning your inputs register more quickly, which is ideal for competitive gaming.
These are Cherry MX compatible switches. They will work with any keyboard that uses standard Cherry MX style stems and is hot-swappable or supports soldering for these specific switch types.
Each pack contains 36 switches. This is sufficient for replacing specific clusters like WASD or arrow keys, but you will need multiple packs if you intend to replace all the switches on a TKL or full-size keyboard.
Yes, these switches are designed to be RGB compatible. The housing allows light to pass through, ensuring your keyboard's backlighting remains vibrant and customizable.
While they are optimized for gaming due to their light 45g actuation force and rapid response, they can be used for typing. However, because they are very sensitive, some users may find they result in more accidental keypresses during long typing sessions compared to tactile or heavier switches.
