Know before you buy
Yes, you can use these 5-pin switches in a 3-pin keyboard by clipping off the two plastic guide pins on the bottom of the switch housing. This is a common practice and will not affect the performance or stability of the switch.
No, these switches come pre-lubricated from the factory with G-Lube. They are designed to provide a smooth, consistent feel right out of the box, so no additional lubrication is necessary.
The Glorious Lynx switches offer a smoother, more refined travel than standard linear switches due to the factory-applied lubricant and precision tooling. With a 50g actuation force, they provide a balanced feel that is light enough for fast-paced gaming but substantial enough for comfortable typing.
Yes, these switches feature a standard MX-style cross stem. They are compatible with the vast majority of aftermarket mechanical keyboard keycaps.
Each pack contains 36 switches. If you are planning to outfit a full-sized keyboard, you will need to purchase three packs to cover the standard 104-key layout.
