Know before you buy
No, these are specifically designed for low-profile mechanical keyboards. They will not fit standard-height MX switches or keyboards.
The Red switch is a linear option, providing a smooth, consistent keystroke without a tactile bump. The Brown and Banana switches are tactile, meaning they offer a noticeable physical bump during actuation, with the Banana variant typically providing a slightly heavier feel.
No, these switches come factory pre-lubricated. They are ready to install and use straight out of the box for a smooth, quiet typing experience.
These switches feature an MX-style cross stem, making them compatible with most low-profile keycaps that use the standard MX mount.
POM (polyoxymethylene) is a self-lubricating plastic known for its low friction. Using it for both the housing and stem results in a very smooth, silky keystroke that feels more premium than standard plastic switches.
The dustproof wall surrounds the stem to prevent debris and dust from entering the internal mechanism. This design helps maintain consistent performance and extends the overall lifespan of the switch.
