What customers say
The Emogogo Hybrid Black Linear Switches are highly regarded for their exceptional out-of-the-box smoothness, thanks to effective factory lubrication. Users consistently praise the premium typing feel derived from tight housing tolerances and minimal stem wobble. A key attraction is the unique acoustic signature, offering a deep, satisfying sound profile sought after by enthusiasts. Build quality is noted as a significant highlight, providing a stable experience. While these switches represent a top-tier investment for serious hobbyists due to their premium cost, the consensus is they deliver unparalleled smoothness and high-end feel, justifying the price for those prioritizing typing excellence.
Know before you buy
The 'Lubed Only' option provides smooth actuation using Krytox 205g0 on the housing and stem with Krytox 105 on the springs. Choosing 'Lubed and Filmed' adds Deskey films, which tighten the housing tolerances to reduce wobble and create a slightly deeper acoustic profile.
These are 5-pin PCB mount switches. While they are designed for 5-pin sockets, you can use them in 3-pin hot-swap boards by clipping off the two small plastic guide pins on the bottom of the switch housing.
A 60g spring weight is considered a medium-weight linear feel. It provides enough resistance to prevent accidental key presses while remaining light enough for comfortable, long-term typing sessions.
The Emogogo Hybrid Black switches feature a Nylon top housing paired with an H1 bottom housing for a balanced sound signature. The stem is constructed from POM, which is known for its low friction and smooth travel.
No, these switches come professionally pre-lubricated. Whether you choose the lubed or the lubed and filmed version, the housing, stem, and springs are already treated with high-quality Krytox lubricants for immediate use.
