MK Click Inc SLP Linear Switches

This linear mechanical switch suits users who prefer smooth, consistent keypresses with a light actuation force. It works well for gamers and typists seeking minimal resistance and a straightforward feel without tactile bumps or clicks. Its moderate travel distance balances quick response with comfortable key depth.

Feel & Sound

• Linear stem provides a smooth, uninterrupted keystroke without tactile feedback or audible clicks.
• Sound profile is generally quiet with a soft bottom-out, suitable for office or shared environments.
• Factory lubrication reduces initial scratchiness, contributing to a smoother feel from the start.

Actuation Characteristics

• Light actuation force of 35g allows for fast, low-effort key presses, reducing finger fatigue during extended use.
• Pre-travel of 1.5mm supports quick key registration, beneficial for fast typing or gaming.
• Total travel of 3.6mm offers a balance between responsiveness and a satisfying key depth.
• Bottom-out force at 45g provides a gentle stop, minimizing finger impact.

Build Quality

• Polycarbonate top housing and POM bottom housing combine durability with a slightly flexible sound and feel.
• POM+UPE stem material reduces friction, enhancing smoothness and longevity.
• 18mm spring length supports consistent force delivery across the keypress.

Compatibility

• PCB mount design requires compatible PCBs, less suited for plate-mounted or hot-swap boards without PCB support.
• Supports single LED lighting, allowing basic backlighting customization.
• Five-pin configuration improves switch stability in compatible keyboards.

Trade-offs

• Linear feel may be less satisfying for users who prefer tactile or clicky feedback.
• Unknown long-term durability and sound characteristics beyond factory lubrication.
• Not optimized for hot-swap keyboards without PCB mounting.
