Know before you buy
The 'Lubed Only' option provides a smooth typing feel using professional Krytox lubrication. Choosing 'Lubed and Filmed' adds Deskey films to the switch housing, which tightens the fit to reduce stem wobble and further refine the sound profile.
These are 5-pin PCB mount switches. They are compatible with most hot-swap keyboards, but if your PCB only supports 3-pin switches, you will need to clip the two plastic guide pins on the bottom of the switch before installation.
POM housing material is known for its self-lubricating properties and distinct acoustic signature. It generally produces a deeper, more 'creamy' sound profile compared to standard polycarbonate or nylon housings.
A 60g bottom-out force is considered a medium weight. It provides enough resistance to prevent accidental key presses while remaining light enough to avoid finger fatigue during long typing or gaming sessions.
Yes, these switches feature a standard MX-style cross stem. They are compatible with the vast majority of custom keycap sets available on the market.
The break-in service mechanically cycles the switches to simulate long-term use. This ensures a consistent feel and sound right out of the box, eliminating the need for you to wear them in manually.
