Know before you buy
The Tecware Pearl Purple switches feature a more pronounced tactile bump located at the top of the keypress. They provide a slightly more defined physical feedback compared to the softer, more subtle feel of a standard MX Brown.
These are PCB mount switches with an MX-style stem, making them compatible with most hot-swappable or solderable mechanical keyboards that support standard MX-style switches. If your keyboard plate has only three holes for switches, you may need to clip the two plastic guide pins on the bottom of the switch.
These switches produce a distinct 'clacky' sound profile. Because they are non-silenced, they offer a crisp, audible feedback that is characteristic of high-quality tactile switches.
The Pearl Purple switches have an operating force of 56g. This weight is designed to be light enough for comfortable long-term typing while still providing enough resistance to prevent accidental keypresses.
While these switches are designed for smooth on-center keypresses out of the box, enthusiasts often choose to apply their own lubricant to further refine the sound and feel. However, they are perfectly functional and smooth without any additional modification.
