Switches 101  

A keyboard switch is the little component that sits underneath the keycap and connects to the keyboard PCB. On a mechanical keyboard, every key has its own switch.

How many switches do I need?

For common sizes, here are some estimates (these can vary slightly by keyboard model):

• Full-size (100%): 104
• TKL (Tenkeyless): 87
• 75%: 81 
• • Our Portico75 Keyboard uses 79 switches.
• 65%: 68
• Our Portico Keyboard uses 67 switches.
• 60%: 61

We recommend buying enough to fill your board, with some extra to spare.
