New for 2023, Black Lotus Linear Switches use brand new moulds and feature a handful of innovations. The switch features a long pole stem in combination with a uniquely designed bottom housing that allows the switch to still travel a full 4mm. This new design offers a smoother feel and the higher precision reduces housing and stem wobble.
The springs are gold-plated stainless steel and rated for a 55g actuation and 63.5g bottom out. Also, this switch has a unique feature starting with the Black Lotus – a removable light diffuser which provides even in-switch lighting!
The top housing on the Black Lotus Linear Switches are made from a translucent modified PC and UPE blend in a deep burgundy color while the bottom housing is solid black Nylon with PCB mount pins. These pins are thicker to help prevent bending, another improvement to their new switches. The long pole stem is made from modified POM and is black.

Durock plate-mount stabilizers are an excellent upgrade from the stock stabilizers provided with a lot of in-stock and entry-level boards, having a more reliable, higher-quality production. Unlike the V2 PCB-Mount Durock stabilizers, the stem legs will need to be clipped as they do not come pre-clipped. We’ve added in the new Piano version of these stabilizers, which come with milky white stems, black housing, and gold-plated wires!
While the stock stabilizers are quite smooth, it is always recommended to lube your stabilizers in order to reduce potential rattle. Recommended lubricants are Krytox 205g0 and SuperLube dielectric grease!
Available in three variants: white, black, and piano!
Durock stabilizers are a screw-in, Cherry-style PCB mount stabilizer. Unlike GMK and Cherry stabilizers, these come pre-clipped and will sit flush to the PCB making the keyboard building process just a bit easier! The V2 stabilizers show an improvement over the previous version by adding a hook at the front of the stabilizer housing where the wire presses into; this helps to prevent wire popping.
While the stock stabilizers are quite smooth, it is always recommended to lube your stabilizers in order to reduce potential rattle. Recommended lubricants are Krytox 205g0 for the housing and SuperLube dielectric grease, or our own Krytox XHT-BDZ grease!
Available in two variants: smoky and clear housing.
