Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these 3-pin tactile switches compatible with all mechanical keyboards?
A: These 3-pin tactile switches are compatible with mechanical keyboards that feature hot-swappable PCBs designed for 3-pin (also called "MX-style") switches. If your keyboard requires 5-pin switches, you can clip the two extra pins on 5-pin PCBs, but always check your keyboard's specifications before purchasing. Soldering is required on non-hot-swap keyboards.
Q: Do I need any tools to install these switches on a hot-swap keyboard?
A: On a hot-swap compatible keyboard, no soldering is required — simply align the 3 pins with the PCB socket and press the switch in firmly and evenly. A switch puller tool is recommended to remove existing switches without bending pins. For non-hot-swap boards, basic soldering equipment will be needed.
Q: How many switches are included, and is that enough for a full keyboard?
A: Each pack includes 50 switches. This is sufficient for a 40% or smaller compact keyboard, or can be used to partially replace switches on a larger board. For a full 60%–100% keyboard build, you may need one or more additional packs depending on your layout's total key count.
Q: What is the tactile feel like on these switches?
A: These switches feature a tactile bump actuation point, meaning you'll feel a subtle but noticeable physical response each time a keystroke registers. This provides satisfying, accurate feedback whether you're gaming at speed or typing long documents — without being as loud as clicky switch variants.
