Complete 5-Pin Switch List

Looking for 5-pin PCB-mount switches? Browse the full list of available options with extra stability for plateless and direct-PCB builds. Compare specs, prices, and in-stock availability across vendors.

All 5-Pin PCB-Mount Switches in Stock

Our database tracks every 5-pin switch on the market. These switches feature two additional plastic guide pins for precise PCB alignment, making them the preferred choice for plateless builds and high-end custom keyboards. Filter by brand, actuation type, and price to find your match.

5-Pin Switches for Plateless Keyboard Builds

If you are building a keyboard without a plate, 5-pin switches are essential. The two extra guide pins lock the switch firmly into the PCB, preventing wobble and misalignment. This results in a more stable and consistent typing experience, especially important for gasket-mount builds where the plate is removed for a softer feel.

5-Pin vs 3-Pin: Choosing the Right Switch

5-pin switches offer superior stability for PCB-mount and plateless builds, while 3-pin switches work perfectly in plate-mounted keyboards. Since you can clip a 5-pin switch down to 3-pin but not the reverse, buying 5-pin gives you maximum flexibility across different keyboards and future builds.

Best 5-Pin Switches for Custom Builds

Popular 5-pin choices include Gateron Oil King for premium smoothness, Cherry MX Hyperglide for proven reliability, and JWK linears for enthusiast-grade quality. Most premium and enthusiast switches ship as 5-pin by default, giving custom builders the flexibility they need.

Converting 5-Pin Switches to 3-Pin

If your PCB only supports 3-pin switches, simply clip the two small plastic guide pins with flush cutters or nail clippers. This quick modification takes seconds per switch and does not affect performance. Keep in mind that the modification is permanent, so only clip if you are sure your board requires 3-pin.

5-Pin Switch Compatibility with Hot-Swap Sockets

Most modern hot-swap keyboards support 5-pin switches out of the box, including popular sockets from Kailh and Gateron. Check your PCB specifications before buying to confirm 5-pin support. If your hot-swap board only accepts 3-pin, you can clip the extra pins for a perfect fit.
