Water-Resistant Switches: Frequently Asked Questions

Building a durable mechanical keyboard requires components that can handle unexpected accidents. Here are some common questions about water-resistant switches to help you choose the right ones for your project.

What does an IP rating on a switch mean?

An IP (Ingress Protection) rating is a standard that classifies the degree of protection provided by an enclosure against dust and liquids. For example, an IP56-rated switch is protected against dust ingress that could interfere with operation and can resist powerful water jets. This rating ensures your switch can handle spills and environmental exposure without failing.

Are water-resistant switches fully waterproof?

Water-resistant is not the same as waterproof. While IP-rated switches offer significant protection against liquid damage from spills and splashes, they are not designed for full submersion. For most users, water resistance provides more than enough protection for a typical desktop environment and adds significant durability to their custom keyboard.

How do water-resistant switches affect typing feel?

Modern water-resistant switches are designed to minimize any impact on typing feel. Brands like Cherry, Gateron, and Kailh use seals and robust materials that don't compromise the switch's intended actuation characteristics. You can find linear, tactile, and clicky water-resistant options that feel just as good as their non-protected counterparts.

Can I use water-resistant switches in any mechanical keyboard?

Most water-resistant switches are compatible with standard MX-style PCBs and plates, making them a direct drop-in replacement for many keyboards. However, always check the pin configuration (3-pin or 5-pin) to ensure it matches your keyboard's PCB. Compatibility information is available on each product page to simplify your selection process.

Do I really need water-resistant switches?

If you work in a demanding environment, are prone to spilling drinks, or simply want maximum durability for your investment, water-resistant switches are an excellent choice. They provide peace of mind and extend the lifespan of your mechanical keyboard. For enthusiasts building a high-end custom keyboard, they offer an extra layer of protection for valuable components.
