About the Switches

Linear switch with 62g spring. These have a smooth keypress with no tactile bump.
Nylon and polycarbonate blended housing, with POM (polyoxymethylene) stem.
PCB mount.
Pre-lubed in factory – very light application. You can lube these switches on top of this.
Packaged in a new hard plastic case with a sticker snap lid. Easily reusable and perfect for holding spare switches.
Designed by C³Equalz and manufactured by JWK.

Note: These were previously sold by other vendors under the working development name 'Macho.' These are not a JWK recolor; they use a proprietary C³Equalz housing mold.

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.
