Know before you buy
These are 5-pin MX-style switches, meaning they are compatible with most hot-swappable mechanical keyboards that support standard Cherry MX-style stems. If your keyboard uses 3-pin sockets, you can typically clip the two extra plastic pins to make them fit.
No, these switches come factory-lubricated. They are ready to install right out of the box, providing a smooth typing feel without the need for manual modification.
While they are designed to dampen noise, they maintain a satisfying tactile response. The light actuation pressure is specifically tuned to reduce finger fatigue during long typing or gaming sessions.
The transparent housing is designed to be light-diffusing, which actually helps your keyboard's backlighting shine through more clearly and evenly across your keycaps.
The 35-piece set is ideal for replacing specific keys or testing the feel, while the 70-piece set covers most 60% or 65% layouts. If you have a full-sized keyboard, you will need the 105-piece set to ensure you have enough switches for every key.
