Know before you buy
These springs are compatible with Cherry MX, Gateron, and most other MX-style switches. They are designed to fit the standard housing dimensions of these common switch types.
The 78g bottom-out weight is slightly lighter than the standard Cherry Clear switch. It provides a firm, deliberate typing feel that is heavier than a standard Cherry Red or Brown but avoids the fatigue associated with extremely heavy springs.
Yes, you will need a switch opener to disassemble your switches and a pair of tweezers or a spring tool to swap the internal components. Ensure your keyboard is hot-swappable or that you are comfortable desoldering your switches before beginning.
SPRiT springs are manufactured in Korea with high-quality stainless steel, offering more consistent tension and durability than many stock springs. They are a popular choice for enthusiasts looking to fine-tune the bottom-out force and rebound speed of their switches.
While springs primarily affect the physical feel of the keystroke, changing them can subtly influence the sound profile by altering how the switch stem impacts the housing. However, the primary purpose of this modification is to adjust the tactile resistance and typing weight.
