Know before you buy
The 'D' profile provides a distinct, rounded tactile bump that starts at the very top of the keypress. Unlike sharper tactile switches, this offers a smooth, cushioned feedback that is satisfying without being jarring.
Yes, these are designed specifically for noise reduction. They feature internal dampeners that significantly soften both the downstroke and the upstroke, making them an excellent choice for office environments or shared spaces.
No, these switches come pre-lubricated from the factory. They are ready to install directly out of the box, offering a consistent and smooth typing experience without the need for manual application.
These are 5-pin, MX-style switches compatible with most hot-swappable mechanical keyboards. If your keyboard PCB only supports 3-pin switches, you can easily clip the two extra plastic legs off the bottom to make them fit.
The 65g weight provides a medium-heavy resistance that helps prevent accidental keypresses. It offers a firm, responsive feel that is ideal for users who prefer a bit of substance behind every keystroke.
Yes, the housing is designed to support SMD LEDs. Because the switch housing is optimized for light transmission, your keyboard's backlighting will shine through clearly.
