Know before you buy
The WS Brown switches provide a distinct, satisfying tactile bump that offers clear feedback without being overly aggressive. It is designed to be a refined experience suitable for both long typing sessions and gaming.
Yes, these are compatible with any keyboard that supports Cherry MX style sockets. Since they feature a 5-pin design, they will fit securely into most modern hot-swap PCBs, though you can clip the two plastic pins if your board only supports 3-pin mounting.
The switches are factory-lubed with Krytox 205g0 on the housing and stem, and Krytox 105 on the springs. This significantly reduces scratchiness and spring ping, providing a smoother, more consistent keystroke right out of the box.
Adding Deskey films tightens the fit between the top and bottom housing of the switch. This reduces housing wobble and creates a slightly deeper, more solid sound profile compared to an unfilmed switch.
A 55g actuation force is considered a medium weight, striking a balance between responsiveness and comfort. It is light enough to prevent finger fatigue during extended use but provides enough resistance to avoid accidental key presses.
These switches are sold in packs of ten. Be sure to calculate how many packs you need based on your keyboard layout—for example, a standard full-size keyboard typically requires 11 packs.
