AEBoards Naevies EC Switches

Unlike traditional mechanical switches that use metal leaves for contact, the Naevies EC switches use Hall-Effect rubber dome technology. This provides the distinct, tactile 'thock' and cushioned bottom-out feel associated with Topre keyboards, but in a self-contained unit that fits standard mechanical keyboards.

Yes. The Naevies EC switches are designed with a standard Cherry MX-compatible stem, meaning they work seamlessly with the vast majority of aftermarket keycap sets and stabilizers.

The switches arrive unlubricated, which gives you full control over the typing feel and sound. While they can be used stock, many enthusiasts choose to apply their own lubricant to refine the smoothness and acoustics to their personal preference.

Traditional Topre builds require careful alignment of individual rubber domes and springs onto a PCB. The Naevies EC switches are fully self-contained units, so you simply snap them into your plate and PCB like any standard mechanical switch, eliminating the risk of dome misalignment.

While the 45g weight is similar to many linear or tactile switches, the Naevies EC offers a unique 'tactile bump' created by the rubber dome compression. You will feel a soft, cushioned resistance that builds up before the actuation point, followed by a satisfying, muted bottom-out sound.
