What customers say
The WS Aurora Clear Linear Switch is highly regarded for delivering exceptional value in the budget to mid-range market.

Know before you buy
Yes, these are 5-pin switches. They are compatible with most hot-swap PCBs, though you should ensure your keyboard supports 5-pin mounting or be prepared to clip the two plastic guide pins if your board only supports 3-pin switches.
These switches are designed to produce a distinct, high-pitched sound profile. The combination of the polycarbonate top housing and the POM stem helps emphasize those crisp, bright tones during typing.
The POM stems come lightly factory-lubed, which provides a smooth experience right out of the box. While many users find this sufficient, enthusiasts who prefer a specific feel or sound may choose to manually apply additional lubricant.
With an actuation force of 53g and a bottom-out force of 63.5g, these switches offer a medium-weight feel. They provide enough resistance to prevent accidental keypresses while remaining light enough for comfortable long-term typing.
The transparent polycarbonate top housing is specifically designed to maximize RGB visibility. It allows your keyboard's backlighting to shine through clearly and evenly, making it an excellent choice for builds that prioritize lighting effects.
