Kailh Red Bean Pudding Box Switch

These are 5-pin MX-style switches, meaning they are compatible with most hot-swappable mechanical keyboards that support standard Cherry MX-style stems. If your keyboard uses 3-pin sockets, you may need to clip the two plastic guide pins on the bottom of the switch to ensure a proper fit.

The POM material is self-lubricating, which provides a naturally smooth, low-friction keystroke right out of the box. This reduces scratchiness and contributes to the consistent, linear feel that these switches are known for.

Yes, the switches feature a translucent design that allows for 90% light transmittance. This makes them an excellent choice if you want to maximize the brightness and color diffusion of your keyboard's per-key RGB lighting.

The box-style stem design provides a physical barrier that helps prevent dust and moisture from entering the internal switch mechanism. This construction adds a layer of protection that can help extend the lifespan of the switches and maintain consistent performance over time.

With an operating force of 45±10 gf, these switches offer a light, responsive feel very similar to standard linear red switches. The short 13mm spring provides a snappy rebound, making them well-suited for both rapid gaming inputs and comfortable long-term typing.
