Mechanical switches AKKO Mirror 5-pin linear 37g, set of 45 switches

AKKO Mirror 5-pin linear 37g mechanical switches are a set of 45 switches created for custom mechanical keyboards. These PCB-mount switches deliver smooth, consistent linear travel with a 37-gram actuation force and no tactile bump or audible click. Supplied as a pack of 45, they suit a wide range of custom layouts where reliable, low-resistance keystrokes are required for both typing and gaming.

Advantages

The linear design ensures uniform keystrokes from top to bottom, reducing finger fatigue during extended use. A moderate 37g actuation force balances responsiveness and comfort, offering quick actuation for gaming while remaining comfortable for prolonged typing. The 5-pin housing provides secure PCB mounting and stable switch positioning, supporting long-term durability and consistent performance across all keys in the set.

Suitable for

• Custom mechanical keyboard builds with PCB support
• Gaming setups that require smooth, consistent keypresses
• Typing-intensive use where linear feel is preferred
• Hot-swap-compatible designs when used with compatible PCBs and sockets

Key specifications

• Switch type: linear
• Pin configuration: 5-pin (PCB mount)
• Actuation force: 37 g
• Set quantity: 45 switches
• Intended travel: full linear travel without tactile bump or click

How to use

Install the AKKO Mirror 5-pin switches into a compatible PCB by aligning the five pins with the PCB holes and pressing each switch into place until it seats firmly. If your board is hot-swap compatible, verify the socket type matches 5-pin housings; otherwise solder the switch pins to the PCB following standard soldering precautions. Once installed, test each switch for smooth travel and consistent actuation. Pair with keycaps and stabilizers appropriate to your keyboard layout, then perform any desired lubing or modification prior to final assembly if custom feel or noise characteristics are required.

Recommendations

For best performance, use with stabilizers and keycaps that match the switch stem profile. If quieter operation or reduced friction is desired, consider applying an appropriate lubricant to the stem and housing surfaces before assembly. Ensure compatibility with your PCB and mounting method (hot-swap vs solder) before purchase.
