Know before you buy
The difference lies in the bottom-out force required to press the key. The 63.5g spring offers a slightly lighter, snappier feel, while the 65g spring provides a bit more resistance, which some users prefer to prevent accidental key presses.
Yes, these are standard MX-style switches. They are compatible with most mechanical keyboards that support hot-swappable or solderable MX switches.
Yes. While they feature PCB-mount pins for extra stability, they are fully compatible with plate-mounted keyboards. If your plate does not have holes for the extra pins, you can simply clip them off with a flush cutter.
The revised bottom housing has been engineered to reduce friction during the keypress. This results in a noticeably smoother travel feel compared to older iterations of the Tealios line.
