Know before you buy
The 'Lubed Only' option provides a smoother keystroke by applying Krytox lubricants to the housing, stem, and springs. Choosing 'Lubed and Filmed' adds Deskey switch films, which tighten the housing tolerance to reduce wobble and create a deeper, more refined sound profile.
These are 5-pin PCB mount switches. They are compatible with most modern custom mechanical keyboards, but if your keyboard plate or PCB only supports 3-pin switches, you may need to clip the two plastic guide pins on the bottom of the switch.
A 53g actuation force is considered a medium-weight linear feel. It is light enough to prevent finger fatigue during long typing sessions but provides enough resistance to avoid accidental key presses.
The switches feature a durable nylon housing, which is known for producing a pleasant, slightly deeper sound signature. The stem is made from POM, a low-friction plastic that contributes to the switch's smooth, consistent travel.
No. Whether you choose the 'Lubed Only' or 'Lubed and Filmed' service, the switches arrive professionally pre-lubed with Krytox 205g0 on the housing and stem, and Krytox 105 on the springs. They are ready to install immediately upon arrival.
