Know before you buy
Yes, these are 5-pin switches compatible with most MX-style mechanical keyboards. If your keyboard only supports 3-pin switches, you can easily clip the two plastic guide pins off the bottom to make them fit.
No, these switches come factory-lubed for a smooth experience right out of the box. While some enthusiasts may choose to apply their own lube for a custom feel, they perform excellently without any additional modification.
A progressive spring starts off light and becomes noticeably firmer as you press down. This provides a unique, snappy resistance that helps prevent accidental key presses while maintaining a smooth linear travel.
These switches are known for a high-pitched, clacky sound signature. Thanks to the POK material construction and tight housing fit, they produce a crisp, clean acoustic profile that stands out from deeper-sounding switches.
They are well-suited for both. The 43g actuation force is light enough for quick gaming inputs, while the smooth linear travel and progressive spring provide a comfortable, consistent feel for long typing sessions.
