Mechanical keyboard switches GLORIOUS Mako Ultralight 5-pin MX-stem 40g tactile lubed, pack of 110

GLORIOUS Mako Ultralight 5-pin MX-stem switches are tactile mechanical switches with a 40 g actuation force, supplied as a pack of 110. Designed for use in full-size and custom keyboards that accept 5-pin MX-compatible switches, these switches come pre-lubed to reduce stem friction and provide a smoother key travel. The 5-pin housing ensures secure mounting on compatible PCBs and plate-mounted layouts, while the MX-style stem maintains broad compatibility with standard keycaps.

Advantages

Pre-applied lubrication reduces scratchiness and stem friction for a quieter and smoother tactile feel without additional modding. The 40 g actuation force offers a responsive tactile bump suitable for users seeking feedback without excessive force. The 5-pin housing improves stability in plate or PCB-mounted configurations, and the MX-compatible stem enables use with a wide range of keycap profiles. Pack quantity of 110 covers full-size keyboards with extras for stabilization and replacement.

Suitable for

• Building or upgrading full-size mechanical keyboards
• Custom keyboard projects requiring 5-pin MX-compatible switches
• Users seeking a tactile typing experience with moderate actuation force
• Enthusiasts who prefer pre-lubed switches to reduce preparation time

How to use

Install these GLORIOUS Mako Ultralight switches into a compatible keyboard plate or PCB that accepts 5-pin MX-style switches. Align the switch pins with the PCB through-holes and press the switch firmly into the plate or PCB until it snaps into place. Fit MX-compatible keycaps onto the stems. If the keyboard is hot-swappable, remove the existing switches with an appropriate puller and insert the new switches following manufacturer guidance. No additional lubrication is required for immediate use, though users may choose to re-lube or modify switches to suit personal preference.

Recommendations

For best results, verify PCB and plate compatibility with 5-pin switches before installation. Use a switch puller for safe removal of existing switches and a keycap puller when replacing keycaps. If stabilizers are present on larger keys, ensure they are properly lubed and seated to complement the pre-lubed switches and achieve consistent feel across the keyboard.
