Neo Amber Linear Switches

This linear switch suits users who want a smooth keypress with clear audible feedback. It fits typists or gamers who prefer a light, consistent feel combined with a crisp, clacky sound. The factory lubrication supports long typing sessions by reducing scratchiness and fatigue.

Feel & Sound

• Provides a smooth, linear keystroke without tactile bumps, making it predictable and consistent.
• Delivers a bright, sharp click sound that stands out, ideal for those who want noticeable audio feedback while typing.
• Sound profile is more pronounced than similar linear switches, which may be distracting in quiet environments.

Actuation Characteristics

• Requires moderate force to actuate, balancing responsiveness and fatigue over extended use.
• Pre-travel distance allows for early input registration, supporting faster typing or gaming actions.
• Bottoming out is smooth and controlled, reducing finger strain during heavy keypresses.

Build Quality

• Uses polycarbonate top housing and P5 bottom housing, materials known for durability and consistent sound.
• Stem made from modified POM reduces friction, contributing to smooth keypresses.
• Comes factory lubricated, minimizing initial scratchiness and improving feel out of the box.

Trade-offs

• The pronounced click sound may not suit quiet office settings or shared spaces.
• Linear design lacks tactile feedback, which some users prefer for typing accuracy.
• Unknown how it responds to further modifications like additional lubing or filming.
