Know before you buy
These are 5-pin MX-style switches, meaning they are compatible with most hot-swappable mechanical keyboards that support standard MX-style stems. If your keyboard is only compatible with 3-pin switches, you may need to clip the two extra plastic pins on the bottom of the switch to make them fit.
The 1.6mm pre-travel is shorter than a standard mechanical switch, which allows for faster actuation. This makes the switch feel more responsive, particularly for gaming or rapid typing, as the key registers the input with less physical effort.
