Know before you buy
Yes, the Alpaca V2 switches come factory-lubed, meaning they are ready for installation without needing additional manual lubrication.
The 62g gold-plated spring provides a medium-weight resistance that is balanced for both gaming and extended typing sessions, offering a satisfying bottom-out without causing finger fatigue.
While the switches are excellent in their stock form, using 0.125mm films can help tighten the housing fit and further refine the sound profile for a more premium experience.
The polycarbonate top housing provides a crisp, clear sound signature, while the nylon bottom housing helps dampen the acoustics, resulting in a balanced and smooth typing sound.
These are standard MX-style switches compatible with most mechanical keyboards that support hot-swappable sockets or through-hole soldering. Please ensure your PCB supports 5-pin switches or be prepared to clip the plastic legs if your board only supports 3-pin.
