Know before you buy
Yes, these are 3-pin switches, which are compatible with most hot-swappable mechanical keyboards. If your keyboard only supports 5-pin switches, these will still fit securely, though they may have slightly less stability than a 5-pin variant.
These switches feature a distinct, audible click characteristic of classic mechanical switches. They are significantly louder than tactile or linear switches, making them best suited for private offices or home setups where sound is not a concern.
Yes, these switches feature a standard Cherry MX-style stem. They are compatible with the vast majority of aftermarket keycaps, including those with Cherry or OEM profiles.
The 18mm spring is slightly longer than standard springs, which provides a snappier, more responsive key return. This helps the switch feel more consistent and prevents the 'mushy' sensation sometimes found in shorter-spring switches.
Hand-lubing is a great choice if you want to minimize scratchiness and refine the acoustic profile of the switch. While the POM stem is naturally smooth, professional lubing ensures a more consistent feel across every key on your board.
