Yes, these are 5-pin switches compatible with most modern hot-swappable mechanical keyboards. If your board only supports 3-pin switches, you can easily clip the two extra plastic legs off the bottom to make them fit.

Yes, these switches feature a standard MX-style cross stem. They are compatible with the vast majority of aftermarket keycap sets designed for mechanical keyboards.

The POM stem is self-lubricating and reduces friction, contributing to the switch's signature smooth travel. Pairing this with the INK bottom housing creates a distinct, slightly deeper sound profile compared to standard all-nylon switches.
