Kailh x NovelKeys Cream Linear Switches

While the POM material is self-lubricating, many enthusiasts prefer applying Krytox 205g0 to further enhance the smoothness of the typing experience. It is not strictly required, but it is a common modification for this specific switch.

No, filming is not recommended. These switches are manufactured with very tight tolerances, and adding films can interfere with the housing fit and potentially cause issues with the switch operation.

The use of POM plastic for both the housing and the stem gives these switches a unique, slightly deeper sound profile and a distinctively smooth feel. They provide a consistent linear travel with a 70g bottom-out force, making them feel slightly heavier and more substantial than many stock linear options.

These are standard MX-style switches, meaning they are compatible with most mechanical keyboards that use hot-swap sockets or are designed for plate-mounted switches. They feature the standard cross-stem mount, making them compatible with the vast majority of aftermarket keycap sets.

The 55g actuation force provides a responsive feel that is light enough for fast typing but heavy enough to prevent accidental key presses. Combined with the 70g bottom-out, it offers a balanced resistance that feels stable and deliberate.
