Know before you buy
These switches feature a patented internal dampening system that softens the bottom-out and return sound. While they maintain the smooth, linear feel of a standard Red switch, they significantly reduce the audible 'clack' during rapid typing or gaming.
These are compatible with any keyboard that uses Cherry MX-style (cross-stem) switches and is hot-swappable. Please ensure your keyboard PCB supports the 3-pin or 5-pin configuration of your specific board before purchasing.
Yes, these switches are specifically designed with a transparent housing to allow RGB light to pass through. They are fully compatible with keyboards that feature per-key or under-glow RGB lighting.
This set includes 65 switches, which is perfect for 60% or 65% compact keyboards. If you are using a tenkeyless (TKL) or full-sized keyboard, you will need to purchase additional sets to cover all keys.
The included puller is designed to safely remove switches from hot-swappable sockets without damaging the housing. It is a standard tool that makes the installation process straightforward, even for beginners.
