Know before you buy
These switches use a proprietary plastic blend and a long pole stem specifically engineered to produce a deep, bassy 'thock' sound profile rather than the higher-pitched clack found in many standard linears.
Yes, these are 5-pin PCB mount switches. They are compatible with most modern hot-swap mechanical keyboards, though you should ensure your PCB supports 5-pin switches or be prepared to clip the two plastic guide pins if your board only supports 3-pin mounting.
No, these switches come factory-lubed for a smooth keystroke right out of the box. While some enthusiasts prefer to add their own custom lube, the factory application is sufficient for a consistent, high-quality feel.
The 55g spring provides a lighter, faster typing feel that is often preferred for gaming, while the 65g spring offers more resistance, which many typists find helps prevent accidental key presses and provides a more substantial bottom-out feel.
Yes, the Gazzew LT switches are designed with RGB compatibility in mind. The housing allows light to pass through effectively, making them a great choice if you want to showcase your keyboard's lighting.
