Know before you buy
These switches come factory-lubed, meaning they are ready to install and use right out of the box. You do not need to apply additional lubricant unless you prefer a specific custom feel.
These are MX-style switches, which are compatible with the vast majority of mechanical keyboards that use standard cross-stem keycaps. Please ensure your keyboard supports PCB-mount switches or that you are comfortable clipping the plastic pins if your board only supports plate-mount.
The 55g actuation force is considered a medium-weight feel. It provides enough resistance to prevent accidental key presses while remaining light enough to minimize finger fatigue during extended typing or gaming sessions.
Yes, these switches are SMD LED compatible. The housing design allows light to pass through effectively, making them a great choice if you want to showcase your keyboard's backlighting.
The dustproof stem features a surrounding wall that helps prevent debris and dust from entering the switch housing. This design also adds stability to the keypress, reducing stem wobble for a more consistent feel.
This pack contains 45 switches. A standard full-sized keyboard typically requires 104 switches, while a 60% or 65% keyboard usually requires between 61 and 70 switches. You will likely need to purchase multiple packs depending on your keyboard's layout.
