Know before you buy
These switches are compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use MX-style stems. However, they are specifically designed for hot-swappable boards or keyboards where you can solder your own switches.
The Kailh Super Speed switches feature a shorter actuation point, which allows the keypress to register faster than a standard mechanical switch. This makes them particularly well-suited for competitive gaming and rapid typing.
If your keyboard is hot-swappable, you can simply plug these switches into the PCB without any tools. If your keyboard is not hot-swappable, you will need to desolder your existing switches and solder these in place.
Each set includes 110 switches, which is enough to cover a full-sized 100% keyboard, including the number pad.
The Kailh Super Speed series is generally designed for speed and consistency, offering a smooth, linear feel that minimizes resistance during rapid keystrokes.
