Know before you buy
The box stem design is engineered to minimize lateral movement, effectively reducing stem wobble. This results in a more stable and consistent keypress compared to standard switch designs.
The 2-stage spring provides a snappier, more responsive return action after each keystroke. This creates a distinct, lively feel that helps the switch reset quickly for faster typing.
No, these switches come factory lubed for immediate, smooth performance. They are ready to be installed directly into your keyboard without any additional preparation.
The Long Pole POM stem is designed to provide a smoother travel experience and a slightly different bottom-out sound. The POM material is known for its low friction, which contributes to the overall fluid feel of the switch.
These are standard mechanical switches compatible with most hot-swappable or solderable mechanical keyboards. However, ensure your keyboard supports MX-style switches before purchasing.
