What customers say
KBDFans switches are highly regarded within the custom keyboard community for offering exceptional value. Users consistently praise the quality and variety, noting these switches provide an enthusiast grade foundation for builds without the high cost of boutique options. The tactile feel and distinct sound signatures are frequently highlighted as major strengths. While the switches deliver reliable performance, many enthusiasts view them as an excellent starting point, often requiring user modification like lubing to achieve peak smoothness and eliminate minor spring noise. Overall, the consensus points to KBDFans delivering a superb balance of quality and accessibility, making these packs a strongly recommended purchase for personalized keyboard projects.
Know before you buy
These switches feature an MX-style cross stem, making them compatible with the vast majority of mechanical keyboards that use standard Cherry MX-style sockets. Please ensure your keyboard PCB supports hot-swappable switches or that you are prepared to solder them if your board requires it.
The professional lubrication service involves manually applying a Krytox blend to the springs, stems, and stem legs. This process significantly reduces scratchiness and spring ping, resulting in a much smoother keystroke and a more refined acoustic profile compared to stock switches.
Your choice depends on your preference for typing feel and sound. Linear switches like the Gateron Oil King offer a smooth, consistent press, while tactile options like the Siliworks Type R provide a noticeable bump during actuation. Consider whether you prefer a deeper, 'thocky' sound or a lighter, crisper feel.
A 70-unit pack is typically sufficient for 60% or 65% keyboard layouts, which are common for custom builds. If you are using a full-size, TKL, or 75% layout, you will likely need to purchase additional switches to cover every key.
We use a specific 7:3 ratio of Krytox AUT2045 and GPL105 for the switch internals. This blend is industry-standard for achieving a buttery-smooth feel while effectively dampening the high-pitched plastic-on-plastic noise often found in unlubed switches.
