Kailh Jellyfish Linear Switches

The Kailh Jellyfish Linear is a mechanical keyboard switch designed to deliver a smooth and fluid typing experience. Drawing inspiration from the graceful movement of jellyfish, this switch combines elegant aesthetics with reliable performance, making it a standout choice for both enthusiasts and everyday users.

Design and Aesthetics

One of the defining features of this switch is its transparent housing, crafted to mimic the translucent appearance of a jellyfish. This clear design allows RGB lighting to shine through with exceptional clarity, enhancing the visual appeal of any compatible keyboard.

• Transparent polycarbonate (PC) housing for optimal light diffusion
• Modern, minimalist look that complements a variety of keyboard styles
• Designed to highlight and amplify RGB lighting effects

Smooth Linear Performance

Engineered as a linear switch, it provides a seamless keystroke from top to bottom without tactile bumps or audible clicks. The actuation force is set at 60g (±10g), offering a balance between responsiveness and comfort for both gaming and typing.

• Linear switch type for uninterrupted key travel
• Actuation force: 60g (±10g)
• Total travel distance: 4.0mm (±0.3mm)
• Pre-travel distance: 2.0mm (±0.3mm)

Materials and Build Quality

Durability and reliability are central to the switch’s construction. The housing is made from polycarbonate, while the stem utilizes high-molecular polyamide (PA) for strength and longevity. The internal spring measures 18mm, contributing to a consistent and stable feel.

• Polycarbonate (PC) housing for toughness and clarity
• High-molecular polyamide (PA) stem for enhanced durability
• 18mm spring length for balanced resistance
• Gold-plated alloy contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance

Enhanced Features

This switch is pre-lubed at the factory, ensuring smooth keypresses right out of the box. It is also designed to resist dust and water, adding an extra layer of protection for long-term use.

• Factory pre-lubed for reduced friction and smoother operation
• Dust and water-resistant construction for greater durability
• Lifespan rated at 50 million keystrokes

Compatibility and Mounting

The switch uses a 5-pin PCB mount, making it compatible with a wide range of mechanical keyboards that support this configuration. This ensures a secure fit and easy installation for custom builds or upgrades.

• PCB mount (5-pin) for stable installation
• Suitable for custom mechanical keyboards and DIY projects
