Know before you buy
The silicone inserts are integrated into the top and bottom housings to significantly reduce side-to-side stem wobble. This creates a more stable, consistent keystroke that feels more solid and refined than traditional linear switches.
These are 5-pin PCB mount switches. They are compatible with most modern hot-swappable mechanical keyboards, but if your PCB only supports 3-pin switches, you would need to clip the two plastic legs off the bottom.
The lubed version comes pre-applied with factory lubricant, providing a smoother feel and a deeper sound profile right out of the box. The unlubed version is intended for enthusiasts who prefer to apply their own specific lubricant to customize the feel and sound to their exact preference.
A 58g bottom-out force is considered a medium-weight switch. It provides enough resistance to prevent accidental key presses while remaining light enough to avoid finger fatigue during long typing or gaming sessions.
No, these switches feature a standard MX-style stem, meaning they are compatible with the vast majority of aftermarket mechanical keyboard keycap sets.
The silicone extension at the base of the switch housing acts as a dampener and stabilizer where the switch meets the keyboard plate. This minimizes vibrations and movement between the switch and the plate, resulting in a more secure fit and a cleaner acoustic signature.
