MMD Princess V2 Linear Switches

This linear switch suits users who prefer smooth keypresses with a deeper, more thocky sound. It is designed for those valuing refined travel and sound characteristics over tactile feedback. Gamers or typists seeking consistent, quiet keystrokes with a focus on smoothness may find it fitting. It is less ideal if you want a tactile bump or very light actuation.

Feel & Sound

• The stem uses a LY material combined with POM and PTFE, resulting in smoother travel compared to standard POM stems.
• The modified polycarbonate top housing reduces friction and produces a more concentrated up-stroke sound.
• Compared to the previous version, the top housing mold improvements create a deeper, more thocky top-out sound.
• The switch offers a consistent linear feel without tactile feedback or audible click.

Actuation Characteristics

• Bottom-out force of 53g provides moderate resistance, suitable for users who prefer noticeable but not heavy keypresses.
• Pre-travel of 2.0mm and total travel of 3.6mm deliver a standard linear keypress distance.
• The refined top-out sound and smooth stem travel contribute to a controlled bottom-out feel.

Build Quality

• Top housing is made from modified polycarbonate, enhancing smoothness and sound quality.
• Bottom housing uses PA66, a durable nylon material common in mechanical switches.
• The stem material change to LY improves smoothness over the original POM+PTFE design.

Trade-offs

• Linear design means no tactile feedback, which may not suit users who prefer a bump or click.
• Unknown compatibility details, including hot-swap or LED support.
• Unknown factory lubrication quality and response to additional lubing.
