LiJiaNYC Alpaca V2 Switches

Yes, these are 5-pin switches compatible with most hot-swappable mechanical keyboards that support Cherry MX style switches. If your PCB only supports 3-pin switches, you can easily clip the two extra plastic legs off the bottom to make them fit.

No, these switches come pre-lubed from the factory, which significantly reduces friction and noise right out of the box. While some enthusiasts choose to add their own custom lube, they are designed to perform exceptionally well without any additional work.

The 62g spring provides a medium actuation force that strikes a balance between being light enough for fast gaming and heavy enough to prevent accidental key presses. It offers a consistent, responsive feel that is generally comfortable for long typing sessions.

Switch films are installed between the top and bottom housing to tighten the fit, which minimizes stem wobble and creates a more solid, refined sound profile. By using pre-filmed switches, you get a more stable typing experience without the tedious process of opening and filming each switch yourself.

Despite the description mentioning a satisfying feel, these are technically linear switches. They provide a smooth, consistent keystroke from top to bottom without the physical 'bump' found in tactile switches.
