Know before you buy
The Naevy switches feature a long-pole POM stem that provides a distinct, precise tactile bump. It is designed for enthusiasts who prefer a noticeable physical feedback with every keystroke.
These are Cherry MX-style switches, meaning they are compatible with most standard mechanical keyboards. If your board requires a 3-pin setup, you can easily clip the two extra plastic pins on the bottom housing to make them fit.
The combination of the AEBoards Nylon top housing and the long-pole stem produces a deeper, fuller sound compared to standard polycarbonate switches. The nylon material helps dampen higher-pitched frequencies for a more refined acoustic experience.
No, these switches come with factory-oiled 63.5g double springs, which are designed to provide smooth actuation right out of the box. While some enthusiasts may choose to add their own lube for personal preference, they are ready for immediate use.
Each pack contains 40 switches. Be sure to calculate the total number of keys on your keyboard layout to ensure you order enough packs for your build.
