Know before you buy
These switches feature the classic T1 tactile bump, which is known for being pronounced and crisp. It provides a distinct physical feedback point that is ideal for users who want to feel exactly when each keypress registers.
Yes, these are 5-pin switches that are fully compatible with most MX-style hot-swap sockets. If your PCB only supports 3-pin switches, you can easily clip off the two extra plastic guide pins to make them fit.
No, these switches come factory-lubed, which provides a smooth typing experience right out of the box. While some enthusiasts may choose to add their own custom lube for a specific sound profile, the factory application is sufficient for most users.
A 67g actuation force is considered medium-heavy, offering more resistance than the standard 50g or 55g switches found in many pre-built boards. This weight helps prevent accidental keypresses and provides a more substantial, deliberate typing feel.
The POM housing is chosen for its low-friction properties and durability, which helps the switch stay smooth over time. The mystery material stem is specifically engineered to reduce stem wobble and produce a deeper, more satisfying sound profile compared to standard plastic stems.
