Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these mechanical keyboard switches compatible with all keyboards?
A: These hot-swappable mechanical keyboard switches are designed to work with hot-swap-compatible PCBs. They are NOT compatible with soldered (non-hot-swap) keyboards. Please confirm that your keyboard supports hot-swappable switches before purchasing.
Q: What is the difference between the Blue, Red, and Brown switches in this pack?
A: The Blue switch offers a strong tactile bump with an audible click, ideal for typists who enjoy pronounced feedback. The Red switch is a smooth, quiet linear switch favored by gamers for its light, fast actuation. The Brown (Tea) switch falls in between, with a soft tactile bump but no click sound — great for office or mixed-use environments.
Q: Do I need any special tools to install these hot-swap keyboard switches?
A: No special tools are required. The hot-swap design lets you simply pull out the old switch and insert the new one by hand. A key cap puller is included in the package to make removing key caps easy before you access the switches beneath.
Q: How many keyboards can 500 switches cover?
A: A standard 60% keyboard uses approximately 61 switches, a tenkeyless (TKL) layout uses around 87, and a full-size 104-key layout uses 104. With 500 switches, you can build several keyboards or have plenty of spares for replacements and future projects.
