What customers say
The JWK Customized Matcha switch is highly regarded for its exceptional factory smoothness, offering a premium, ready-to-use linear experience that saves builders time and modification costs. Its vibrant green aesthetic is a major highlight, adding distinct visual flair to custom keyboards.

Know before you buy
These are linear switches, meaning they provide a smooth, consistent keystroke without any tactile bump or audible click. With an actuation force of 49gf and a bottom-out force of 68gf, they offer a slightly heavier, stable feel that is ideal for those who prefer a deliberate typing experience.
Yes, these are 5-pin switches compatible with most modern hot-swappable mechanical keyboards. If your PCB only supports 3-pin switches, you can easily clip off the two extra plastic legs to make them fit.
The Matcha switches are designed to support both SMD LEDs and traditional 2-pin through-hole LEDs. This makes them highly versatile for boards with per-key RGB or single-color backlighting.
They feature a standard MX-style cross stem, meaning they are compatible with the vast majority of aftermarket keycap sets. While they follow the Cherry MX form factor, they are engineered for a smoother linear travel and higher durability, rated for up to 100 million keystrokes.
You should choose your set based on your keyboard's layout. A 65-pack is typically sufficient for 60% or 65% keyboards, while a 90-pack covers most TKL boards. If you are using a full-sized 104-key keyboard, you will need the 110-unit set.
