Know before you buy
These switches feature an MX-style cross stem, making them compatible with the vast majority of mechanical keyboards that use Cherry MX-style sockets. They are suitable for various form factors, ranging from compact 60% boards to full-size layouts.
Each order includes a pack of 30 switches. If you are building a full-sized keyboard, you will need to purchase multiple packs to cover all keys.
The selection includes linear options like the Oil King and Smoothie, known for their smooth keystroke, as well as the Ink V2 series. Each variant offers a unique sound profile and actuation feel, allowing you to tailor the typing experience to your preference.
Installation depends on your keyboard's PCB. If your keyboard is hot-swappable, you can simply push these switches into the sockets; if it is not, you will need to solder them to the board.
Yes, because these use the standard MX-style stem, they are compatible with all common keycap profiles, including Cherry, OEM, SA, DSA, XDA, and KAT.
