Know before you buy
These use a T1 tactile mechanism, which provides a distinct, noticeable bump during each keystroke. They are designed for enthusiasts who prefer a tactile response over the smooth, linear feel of standard office keyboards.
The POM blend housing is specifically chosen to produce a deeper, richer acoustic profile. Compared to standard plastic housings, it helps dampen higher-pitched clatter, resulting in a more solid and 'thocky' sound signature.
The factory-lubed option is ideal if you want a consistent, smooth experience right out of the box without extra work. If you are an enthusiast who prefers to hand-lube your switches to your exact specifications, the unlubed version is the better choice.
These are designed for Cherry MX style sockets, which are the industry standard for most custom mechanical keyboards. As long as your board uses standard MX-style mechanical switches, these will fit.
The UWMWPE stem material is known for its low friction, which helps ensure a smooth travel path for the switch. This material choice reduces scratchiness during the keystroke, contributing to the premium feel of the Sunflower switch.
The Sunflower switches feature a 67g spring weight. This is considered a medium-heavy weight, offering enough resistance to prevent accidental key presses while remaining comfortable for long typing sessions.
