Know before you buy
The White Lotus switches offer a more refined and subtle tactile experience. They are intentionally less sharp than T1s, providing a smoother, more consistent feel that is ideal for those who prefer a lighter touch.
Yes, these are 5-pin PCB mount switches with an MX-style stem, making them compatible with most hot-swappable and solderable mechanical keyboards that support Cherry MX-style switches.
No, these switches come factory lubed for a smooth typing experience right out of the box. You can install them immediately without needing to perform any additional maintenance.
The removable diffuser is designed to help disperse and soften your keyboard's RGB backlighting. If you prefer a more focused or brighter light, you can easily remove it from the switch housing.
The long pole stem creates a distinct, crisp bottom-out sensation. This design choice provides a more definitive end to each keystroke compared to switches with standard-length stems.
These are 5-pin switches. If your keyboard plate only supports 3-pin switches, you would need to clip the two extra plastic guide pins off the bottom of the switch housing to make them fit.
