Know before you buy
These are 5-pin switches, which are compatible with most hot-swappable mechanical keyboards. If your keyboard only supports 3-pin switches, you would need to clip off the two extra plastic guide pins before installation.
No, these switches come factory-lubed for consistent smoothness right out of the box. While some enthusiasts prefer to re-lube for specific sound profiles, they are designed to perform exceptionally well without any additional work.
With a pre-travel of 1.08mm, these switches register keypresses very quickly. This makes them highly responsive for gaming, though light typists may find them sensitive and prone to accidental inputs until they adjust to the shorter actuation point.
The high transparency housing is specifically designed to allow maximum light transmission. It will make your keyboard's RGB lighting appear brighter and more vibrant compared to switches with opaque or semi-transparent housings.
An initial force of 40gf makes these switches feel light and effortless to press. They are ideal for long typing sessions or fast-paced gaming where you want to minimize finger fatigue.
