Mechanical Switches GLORIOUS Fox Heavy 5-pin linear MX-stem 55g pre-lubed — 110 pcs

Set of 110 GLORIOUS Fox Heavy mechanical switches, linear actuation with an MX-compatible stem and 5-pin PCB mounting. These switches have an approximate actuation force of 55 g and come pre-lubed to reduce friction and provide a smoother keystroke feel. Designed for custom mechanical keyboards and both hot-swap and soldered builds, the GLORIOUS Fox Heavy switches deliver consistent linear travel without a tactile bump, suitable for gaming and typing scenarios that require uniform keypress behavior.

Advantages

Pre-lubed internals reduce scratchiness and lower initial friction for quieter, smoother operation out of the box. The 5-pin housing supports secure soldered mounting and compatibility with many 5-pin hot-swap PCBs, while the MX-compatible stem accepts a wide range of keycaps. A nominal 55 g actuation force provides a firm, consistent linear feel that balances rapid keypresses and control. Transparent upper housings support clear LED transmission for backlit keyboards.

Suitable for

• Custom mechanical keyboard builds with 5-pin PCB mounting
• Hot-swap keyboards that accept MX-stem switches
• Gaming where smooth, consistent linear actuation is preferred
• Typing use cases that benefit from reduced friction and uniform travel

Key specifications

• Quantity: 110 switches
• Switch type: linear
• Stem compatibility: MX-compatible (cross-shaped stem)
• Mounting: 5-pin PCB mount (solderable and compatible with many 5-pin hot-swap sockets)
• Nominal actuation force: ~55 g
• Pre-lubed: yes (factory-applied lubrication)
• Housing material: transparent polycarbonate upper and base
• Stem material: POM (polyoxymethylene)
• Spring material: nickel-plated stainless steel
• LED support: compatible with SMD LEDs; transparent housing for light transmission

How to use

Install the GLORIOUS Fox Heavy switches into a compatible keyboard plate or directly onto a 5-pin PCB. For hot-swap sockets, align the MX-style stem with the keycap and press the switch into the socket until it seats. For soldered builds, ensure switch pins are straight, insert through the PCB holes and solder each pin following standard soldering safety and technique. Fit MX-compatible keycaps onto the stems and test each key to confirm secure seating and consistent travel.

Recommendations

Use these switches in keyboards designed for 5-pin switches and verify PCB compatibility before installation. If you prefer a different sound or feel profile, switches can be further modified by additional lubrication, spring swaps, or installing dampening foam in the case. When soldering, allow for proper ventilation and follow common safety precautions.
