Know before you buy
Yes, the Graywood V4 switches feature a standard 5-pin MX style mount, making them compatible with most hot-swappable mechanical keyboards. If your board only supports 3-pin switches, you can simply clip off the two extra plastic guide pins.
These switches are built from POM material, which provides a notably smooth, self-lubricating feel. With an operating force of 40gf, they offer a light, responsive touch that is well-suited for both fast-paced gaming and long typing sessions.
They are designed to enhance your lighting. Each switch includes an integrated acrylic light guide that helps diffuse RGB light more evenly across your keycaps, creating a brighter and more consistent glow.
The Graywood V4 switches are factory-lubricated to provide a smooth experience right out of the box. While enthusiasts may choose to apply additional lube for a specific sound profile, they are ready for immediate use.
The acrylic light guide is an optional component that sits within the switch housing to improve light dispersion. Please note that this piece must be installed manually if you choose to use it for a more diffused RGB effect.
As linear switches, they lack the tactile bump and audible click of 'clicky' switches, making them relatively quiet. However, the final sound profile will depend largely on your keyboard case, plate material, and keycap choice.
