What customers say
The Cupid Switch is highly regarded in the mechanical keyboard community, primarily for its exceptional smoothness and striking visual design.

Know before you buy
Yes, the Cupid R2 switches feature a standard 5-pin design and are compatible with any MX-style hot-swappable keyboard.
No, these switches come pre-lubricated from the factory by JWK. They are ready to use right out of the box, though you can apply additional lube if you prefer a specific feel.
These are linear switches, meaning they offer a smooth, consistent press without a tactile bump. They are specifically tuned for a low-pitch sound profile, which provides a deeper, more muted acoustic experience compared to standard switches.
The POM blend housing provides a smooth, durable exterior, while the POK stem is used for its superior wear resistance and low-friction properties. This combination ensures the switch remains consistent and smooth over millions of keystrokes.
A 55g bottom-out force is generally considered a medium-light weight. It is light enough to prevent finger fatigue during long typing sessions, but provides enough resistance to avoid accidental key presses.
