Know before you buy
These switches are designed for Hall Effect magnetic keyboards. While they feature a Cherry MX-style housing, they will not function in standard mechanical keyboards that rely on physical metal contact pins.
Because they use magnetic sensors rather than physical leaf contacts, the L60 offers a friction-free, exceptionally smooth linear travel. The 40cN to 60cN force curve provides a snappy, responsive feel that is consistent across every press.
The L60 features a transparent PC top housing for light diffusion, a durable nylon bottom housing, and a POM stem for reduced friction. This combination ensures both long-term durability and a refined sound profile.
These switches are manufactured by Gateron, a highly regarded name in the keyboard industry. This partnership ensures reliable quality control and consistent performance standards.
The Lekker L60 switches have a total travel distance of 4mm. This standard depth provides a familiar, satisfying bottom-out experience for most enthusiasts.
