Know before you buy
These are 3-pin switches designed for hot-swappable mechanical keyboards. Please check that your keyboard's PCB supports 3-pin switches before purchasing, as some boards require 5-pin compatibility or are soldered rather than hot-swappable.
The choice depends on your preference: Red and Black are linear for smooth travel, Blue provides a tactile click, Brown offers a subtle bump, Silver is optimized for fast actuation, and Silent Red minimizes noise. Consider your primary use case, such as gaming or typing, to determine which profile suits you best.
Yes, they are designed to enhance it. The transparent top housing is specifically engineered to allow SMD LED light to pass through clearly, ensuring your keyboard's backlighting remains bright and vibrant.
It is common for switch pins to bend slightly during transit. You can easily straighten them using a pair of tweezers or needle-nose pliers before inserting them into your keyboard's socket.
Each order includes a basic switch puller, which is the primary tool needed to remove your old switches and install these new ones. Ensure your keyboard is unplugged and you are using the puller carefully to avoid damaging the switch housing or your keyboard's PCB.
