GATERON Unicorn Linear Switch Set

Yes, these are standard MX-style switches. However, because they feature a 5-pin design, you should ensure your keyboard's PCB supports 5-pin switches or that you are comfortable clipping the two plastic guide pins if your board only supports 3-pin mounting.

No, the Gateron Unicorn switches come pre-lubricated from the factory. They are designed to provide a smooth, consistent feel right out of the box without the need for manual modification.

At 50gf, these switches are slightly heavier than the typical 45gf found in standard linear switches. This provides a bit more resistance, which can help prevent accidental key presses while still remaining light enough for comfortable, long-term typing.

Yes, these switches are specifically engineered for a quiet sound profile. While they are not completely silent like a membrane keyboard, they are significantly quieter than standard mechanical switches, making them a great choice for shared workspaces.

The 18mm two-stage spring provides a snappier, more responsive return after each keypress. This helps the key feel more consistent throughout the travel distance and offers a distinct, lively sensation compared to standard single-stage springs.

Yes, the switches are designed to support plug-in LEDs. The housing materials are chosen to allow light to pass through effectively, ensuring your keyboard's backlighting remains bright and clear.
