Product Description

This linear switch is designed for users who want a compact keypress with fast, direct feedback. It suits gamers and typists who prefer smooth keystrokes without tactile bumps or audible clicks. The short total travel and early bottom-out provide a responsive feel, while its glowing translucent housing adds a unique visual element under RGB lighting.

Feel & Sound

  • Linear action means no tactile bump or click, resulting in smooth and quiet keystrokes.
  • Short total travel creates a compact typing experience with an early bottom-out sensation, which some users may find more precise for fast input.
  • Sound profile is generally soft, with no pronounced thock or click noise.

Actuation Characteristics

  • Moderate actuation force offers a balance between light and heavy presses, suitable for extended typing or gaming sessions.
  • Pre-travel distance allows for quick key activation without feeling too sensitive.
  • Early bottom-out feedback helps users confirm keypresses faster, which can improve typing speed or gaming responsiveness.

Build Quality

  • Housing is made from a translucent, glow-in-the-dark material that absorbs light and emits a soft glow in darkness, enhancing keyboard aesthetics.
  • Stem constructed from POM reduces friction for smoother keypresses.
  • Double-stage spring design supports consistent force throughout the keypress.
  • Factory pre-lubrication reduces initial scratchiness, improving smoothness out of the box.

Compatibility

  • 5-pin PCB mount with MX-compatible footprint fits most custom mechanical keyboards.
  • Hot-swappable friendly, allowing easy installation or replacement without soldering.
  • Good light transmission supports vibrant RGB lighting effects.

Trade-offs

  • Linear feel may be less suitable for users who prefer tactile or clicky feedback.
  • Short travel and early bottom-out might cause fatigue for those who prefer a softer landing.
  • Glow-in-the-dark effect requires exposure to light to activate and fades over time.
