Know before you buy
No, you do not need to solder. You will need to open your switch housings to swap the springs, but the process does not require any permanent modifications to your keyboard's PCB.
These springs are slightly heavier and more elastic than standard MX Red springs. While the actuation force is 45cN, the 55g bottom-out weight provides a snappier, more responsive return that many users find more satisfying for long typing sessions.
These are specifically designed for Cherry MX and Cherry MX-style switches. They are not compatible with low-profile switches, optical switches, or non-MX style stems.
Beyond the aesthetic appeal, the 24K gold plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and durability. It also helps reduce friction during the compression cycle, contributing to a smoother overall keypress.
Spring swaps can subtly alter the sound profile of your switches. Because these springs are more elastic and have a specific tension, you may notice a slightly cleaner, more consistent sound compared to stock springs.
