Know before you buy
These are linear switches, meaning you will experience a smooth, consistent keystroke from top to bottom without any tactile bump or audible click. They are designed for a clean, fluid typing experience that is ideal for both gaming and rapid typing.
The Emogogo Cream NO1 switches feature a 5-pin PCB mount design. While they are compatible with most modern hot-swap keyboards, you should verify that your keyboard supports 5-pin switches or be prepared to clip the two plastic guide pins if your board only supports 3-pin mounting.
The standard version comes stock, while the professional service options include hand-applied Krytox lubricant and Deskey films. Lubrication reduces friction and sound resonance for a smoother feel, while films tighten the housing to minimize wobble and improve the overall acoustic profile.
Yes, these switches are compatible with RGB SMD lighting. The housing design allows light to pass through effectively, making them a great choice if you want to showcase your keyboard's backlighting.
With an initial force of 48gf and a bottom-out force of 62gf, these switches sit in the medium-weight category. They provide enough resistance to prevent accidental keypresses while remaining light enough to avoid finger fatigue during long typing sessions.
