Know before you buy
These are linear switches, meaning you will experience a smooth, consistent keystroke from start to finish without any tactile bump. With a 45gf operating force, they offer a light, responsive feel that is ideal for both rapid gaming and comfortable long-form typing.
These are 5-pin MX-style switches, which are compatible with most modern hot-swappable mechanical keyboards. If your keyboard PCB supports 5-pin switches, they will fit directly; if it only supports 3-pin, you can simply clip the two extra plastic legs off the bottom.
The Starlit Switches feature an integrated LED diffuser specifically designed to disperse light more evenly. Combined with the glitter-infused top housing, they help create a softer, more diffused glow compared to standard clear-housing switches.
Each box contains 45 switches. For a standard full-sized keyboard (104 keys), you would need to purchase three boxes. A 65% or 75% keyboard typically requires two boxes.
The Starlit Switches are tuned to provide a sound profile similar to Piano Pro linears. You can expect a clean, refined sound with a satisfying bottom-out, thanks to the combination of the POM stem and the high-quality housing materials.
