Know before you buy
Yes, these are 5-pin switches designed for hot-swappable keyboards. If your keyboard PCB only supports 3-pin switches, you can easily clip off the two extra plastic guide pins to make them fit.
These switches feature a distinct, crisp audible click characteristic of clicky-style switches. They are designed for users who prefer clear auditory feedback with every keystroke, though they may be too loud for shared office environments.
The translucent PC housing is specifically designed to optimize light diffusion. It allows your keyboard's RGB LEDs to shine through more vibrantly, creating a brighter and more uniform glow across your keycaps.
The 'Box' design features a protective wall around the stem that provides enhanced resistance against dust and moisture. This construction also helps stabilize the keypress, reducing stem wobble for a more consistent typing feel.
Yes, these switches use a standard MX-style cross stem. They are compatible with the vast majority of aftermarket keycap sets designed for Cherry MX-style switches.
These switches are rated for an operation life of up to 80 million cycles. The combination of the durable POM stem and the protective Box housing ensures they maintain their performance and tactile feel over many years of heavy use.
