Know before you buy
No, these springs are specifically engineered for ALPS switches. They will not fit Cherry MX or Gateron-style mechanical switches.
The 85cN rating provides a firm, deliberate typing experience. It is heavier than standard stock springs, making it ideal for users who prefer more resistance to prevent accidental key presses.
Yes, the gold plating is primarily used to improve conductivity and provide a smoother, more consistent compression feel. It also offers increased resistance to oxidation over time compared to standard steel springs.
You will need an ALPS-compatible switch opener to safely disassemble your switches. Because ALPS switches are delicate, we recommend using a proper switch puller and opener to avoid damaging the housing clips.
Each pack contains 100 springs, which is enough to fully customize a standard full-sized 104-key keyboard, excluding a few spare springs for testing or replacements.
