Know before you buy
The Durock T1 is a tactile switch, meaning you will feel a noticeable 'bump' during the keypress. It is designed for those who prefer a pronounced, deliberate tactile feedback rather than a smooth or linear feel.
Yes, 67g is on the heavier side compared to standard switches, which typically range from 45g to 55g. This weight is ideal if you have a heavy typing style or prefer a more substantial, resistive feel to prevent accidental keypresses.
These are PCB-mount switches, which feature two extra plastic pins for stability. If your hot-swap keyboard supports 5-pin switches, they will fit perfectly; if it only supports 3-pin switches, you may need to clip the two plastic legs off the bottom.
Yes, the Durock T1 uses the standard Cherry MX-style stem design. They are compatible with almost all aftermarket keycap sets designed for mechanical keyboards.
The T1 is polarizing because of its aggressive tactile bump, which some users find satisfyingly crisp while others find it too sharp or fatiguing for long typing sessions. It is a 'love it or hate it' switch that depends entirely on your personal preference for tactile intensity.
