KBDFans Switches

Each pack contains exactly 100 switches, which is typically enough to fully outfit a full-sized 104-key keyboard or provide plenty of spares for smaller builds.

Linear switches provide a smooth, consistent keystroke from top to bottom without any physical bump, while tactile switches feature a noticeable 'bump' at the actuation point to provide physical feedback when a keypress is registered.

These switches are designed for standard mechanical keyboards that support MX-style stems. Before purchasing, ensure your keyboard's PCB is compatible with the specific mounting style, such as 3-pin or 5-pin, of the switch you choose.

The two-stage spring offers a more consistent and snappy return compared to standard one-stage springs. This can result in a more responsive typing feel and a slightly different sound profile.

Yes, the Gateron Ink v2 Silent Black switches are specifically engineered with internal dampeners to reduce bottom-out and upstroke noise. They are an excellent choice if you need a quieter typing experience in a shared workspace.

Many of the premium options, such as the Gateron Oil King and G Pro 3.0 series, come factory-lubricated to ensure smoothness right out of the box. However, some enthusiasts may choose to apply additional lubricant to further refine the feel and sound to their personal preference.
