Know before you buy
These switches are compatible with any mechanical keyboard that uses a standard Cherry MX-style mounting system. They are designed to fit most hot-swappable and solderable boards that support this common footprint.
The 2-stage long gold spring provides a snappier, more consistent return compared to standard springs. This design helps the switch feel more responsive and prevents the mushy sensation sometimes found in linear switches.
Yes, the transparent PC housing is specifically designed to allow light to pass through clearly. This makes them an excellent choice if you want to maximize the brightness and color accuracy of your keyboard's RGB backlighting.
The combination of a PC housing and a Nylon stem creates a very smooth, low-friction keystroke. While they are already quite refined out of the box, linear enthusiasts often find this material pairing provides a satisfying, stable feel.
The actuation force of 55gf is the pressure required to register a keypress, while the 63.5gf bottom-out force is the pressure needed to press the key all the way down. This creates a balanced feel that is light enough for fast typing but firm enough to prevent accidental presses.
