Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between linear, tactile, and clicky switches?
Linear switches are smooth from top to bottom with no tactile bump or click. Tactile switches have a small bump you can feel at the actuation point. Clicky switches include both a tactile bump and an audible click.
What is operating force, and why does it matter?
Operating force is the amount of pressure needed to actuate a switch. A lighter force can feel faster and easier to press, while a heavier force may feel more deliberate and controlled.
What are the best switches for gaming?
Many gamers prefer smooth linear switches with lower operating force and consistent travel. However, the best switch depends on your typing style, game type, and sound preference.
Should I choose factory-lubed switches?
Factory lubed switches can feel smoother and sound more refined out of the box. They are a good option if you want a better typing feel without manually lubing switches.
What are silent switches?
Silent switches use internal dampening materials to reduce bottom-out and return noise. They are useful for offices, shared rooms, and late-night typing.
Are all switches compatible with my keyboard?
Most modern keyboards use MX-style switches, but you should still check hot-swap support, mount type (3-pin or 5-pin), and plate/PCB compatibility before buying.
How do I know if a switch will fit my keyboard?
Check whether your keyboard PCB supports MX-style switches, whether it is hot-swappable or soldered, and whether the switch mount is compatible with your plate and PCB.
