Know before you buy
These are tactile switches, meaning you will feel a distinct physical bump during each keypress. They are designed to provide a satisfying, responsive feel that is more pronounced than a standard linear switch.
These switches use a standard MX-style mount, making them compatible with the vast majority of custom mechanical keyboards. They feature a 5-pin design, which provides extra stability, but they can be used on 3-pin boards if you clip the two plastic guide pins.
The combination of a POM stem and Nylon housing is chosen for durability and sound profile. POM is a self-lubricating plastic that helps reduce friction for a smoother travel, while the Nylon housing helps produce a deeper, more pleasant acoustic signature.
Professional lubing and filming significantly reduce scratchiness and unwanted housing rattle, resulting in a much smoother and more consistent sound. If you prefer a refined, premium feel right out of the box without doing the manual labor yourself, this service is highly recommended.
Yes, they are compatible with most hot-swappable keyboards. If your board only supports 3-pin switches, you can easily remove the two extra plastic pins on the bottom of the switch with a pair of flush cutters to ensure a proper fit.
