Ideal use cases

• Upgrading hot-swappable Keychron keyboards (e.g., K Pro, Q, V series)
• Custom mechanical keyboard builds requiring 5-pin PCB mount switches
• Gamers seeking fast, linear actuation with minimal resistance
• Typists who prefer a smooth, quiet keystroke without tactile feedback
• Enthusiasts wanting factory-lubed switches for out-of-the-box smoothness

Good to know

Each pack contains 35 switches, enough for a 60% keyboard (61 keys) with spares, or combine multiple packs for larger layouts. The switches are compatible with any MX-style keycaps and SMD-LED backlighting. No soldering required if your keyboard supports hot-swap sockets. Store unused switches in a cool, dry place to preserve lubrication.
