Bsun Olive Tactile Switches

This tactile mechanical switch suits users who want a noticeable bump without excessive force, such as typists seeking clear feedback or gamers preferring deliberate keypresses. It offers moderate resistance and a defined actuation point, balancing responsiveness with tactile clarity.

Feel & Sound

• Provides a tactile bump at actuation for precise feedback during typing or gaming.
• Moderate bottom-out force helps prevent accidental key presses while maintaining comfort.
• Sound profile is typical for tactile switches, with a muted click and moderate thockiness due to POM housing materials.

Actuation Characteristics

• Actuation force of 50g offers a firm but not heavy keypress, suitable for users who want feedback without fatigue.
• Pretravel of 2.4mm means the switch actuates before bottoming out, allowing faster input recognition.
• Total travel of 3.3mm provides a standard key depth, balancing speed and comfort.
• Bottom-out force at 65g adds resistance to prevent accidental presses but may feel stiff for some.

Build Quality

• Housing made from POM, a low-friction plastic, contributes to smoother keypresses and reduced scratchiness.
• Stem constructed from LY material, known for durability and consistent tactile feedback.
• Spring is 15mm stainless steel, offering stable resistance and longevity.
• Factory lubrication reduces initial scratchiness, improving smoothness out of the box.

Compatibility

• PCB mount design requires compatible PCBs, not plate-mounted keyboards.
• Supports single LED lighting, suitable for keyboards with basic backlighting.
• Switch pin count is 5, standard for PCB mount switches.

Trade-offs

• Moderate actuation and bottom-out force may cause fatigue during extended rapid typing or gaming sessions.
• Not designed for hot-swap keyboards using plate mount, limiting installation options.
• Factory lube quality is adequate but may benefit from additional lubing for smoother sound and feel.
