GEON Switch Openers are of a small, simple design able to open MX or Kailh style switches using magnetic attachments to keep the two pieces together. A nicely-designed lip on the front of the switch opener makes separating the pieces a breeze.

Manufactured in Korea, GEON 22mm Triple-Stage Springs are unique, high-quality springs wherein the design of the springs allows for a normal downstroke keypress, but a snappy return compared to linear springs. As with all GEON products, the 22mm Triple-Stage Springs have gone through rigorous quality control to allow for a precise and minimal deviation range on each spring.

Neo Keyboards has created the Neo White Linear Switch that follows their ethos of low-cost, high-performance product. Utilizing LY plastic for the stem has allowed for an incredibly smooth out-of-box performance, and Nylon bottom housing for the satisfying bottom-out sound. Combined with a solid factory lubing job, Neo White Linear Switches perform above their price range and are excellent value and an excellent addition to any switch collection!

Introducing the Zaku Switch by Bolsa Supply. The name and colorway is inspired off the mobile suit MS-06R-1A Zaku II piloted by Shin Matsunaga which is one of Bolsa’s favorite Gunpla models.

The switch is a very smooth linear that is paired with an extended stem pole and a 63.5g double spring – providing a clacky bottom out and a snappy return experience.

It’s quite rare that we have a winglatch switch on our store, and doubling up with a new manufacturer as well! The Wikuo Harmoney Linear Switches boast an impressive level of stock smoothness, utilizing POK plastic (polyketone) for the top housing. POK boasts an impressive low coefficient of friction, being seen as an alternative to Nylon PA66 in many other industries, and is improved further with a light application of lube, as these switches have. Combined with a POM stem and Nylon bottom housing and a middling 55g spring, these switches will be a solid inclusion in your daily driver, helping prevent fatigue.

Joshua, our CEO, has been using these switches stock in his personal Wind X R2 with the tadpole mount and says it’s one of his favourite boards to type on: “With the bounciness of the tadpole mount and the super smooth, full-travel switch the typing feels and sounds incredibly satisfying on an aluminum plate. It’s impressive how well factory-lubed switches are performing nowadays and has made building boards that much easier.”

While not our first time working with Moyu.Studio, the Hera Linear Switches are the first switch of theirs we’re carrying, and they coincidentally line up extremely well with our brand colours! Each year they’ve released a switch based off of a Greek god, and this year focuses on Hera, the goddess of marriage, women, and family, as well as the Queen of the Gods, being mother to many of the Greek pantheon.

There are two variants of the Hera Linear Switches: a 48g spring and a 60g spring! Both are three-stage gold-plated springs for a super snappy return, even on the lighter springs. Their housing uses the new Durock/JWK housing mould and a custom blend of plastic materials to achieve the milky, translucent effect, and are accompanied by a super smooth LY longpole stem. This combo results in an incredibly smooth linear keypress that one would really have to try and purposefully seek out points of friction as even pressing the stem against the housing in multiple directions and pushing it down resulted in a smooth keypress with no issues. And more impressive yet, there’s no factory lube on them!

Emogogo Hybrid Black Linear Switches are Emogogo’s newest switch and their take on the traditional 4mm full travel black linear switch that the community has loved for so long. Starting the materials with a Nylon PA66 blend top housing and H1 bottom housing for the signature poppy sound, combined with a POM stem to top off the clacky acoustic. These are also made with new custom moulds to refine the switch further, reducing stem wobble further and with tight housings, eliminating the need for switch films.

The Emogogo Hybrid Black Linear Switches also have quality factory lube applied to them and can be used stock without issue.

Designed by GEONWORKS and manufactured by Haimu, HG switches feature a KOS steel spring that helps to reduce ping. HG Clears are fully transparent, made from a polycarb housing with a PA12 stem, and come in two flavours – a factory-lubed variant with a 3.5mm travel distance, and an unlubed variant with a 4mm travel distance. HG Blacks are linear switches that differ from HG Clears in their housing and stem material, with Nylon housing and a POM+PTFE stem.

Gateron UHMknown Linear Switches, designed in collaboration with Divinikey, feature a brand new UHMWPE stem mold designed to work perfectly with Gateron’s popular housing combinations. Prior to the UHMknown switches, in order for Gateron UHMWPE stems to be made, molds designated for other plastics were used. By creating a dedicated UHMWPE mold, these stems will be more consistent with each keypress. Divinikey has been hard at work for over a year alongside Gateron to help develop a stem mould that is exclusively for UHMWPE material.

Emogogo Linear Switches are one half of JWK’s new switch line featuring proprietary switch moulds and plastic blends exclusive to Emogogo. They feature a smooth, snappy linear press thanks to their long-pole stem and 22mm, 62g progressive springs. The proprietary moulds and plastic blends used in the housing result in a need for minimal factory lube to produce a fantastic, smooth stock switch feel.

Ramen.switch V2 goes for a more minimalist design than its predecessor, inspired by the clean aesthetic of blueprints. This deskmat design features the schematics of the Ramen.switch cart, including measurements scaled to the size of the deskmat displayed in millimetres and inches.

Ramen.switch V2 is available in six different colourways, each featuring a white or black background with a single accent colour. White variations are available with accents in black (Quartz), green (Matcha), or pink (Sakura), whereas deskmats with a black base can have accents in white (Carbon), blue (Cobalt), or orange (Tangerine).

The third switch in the Ashkeebs line-up, Alexandrite linear switches aim for a smooth stock typing experience and thocky acoustic. Following our previous switch nomenclature, Alexandrite is a stone that appears bluish green in daylight or fluorescent light, and purplish red at night, tying in perfectly with our brand colours!

The UPE stem and HPE top housing combination allow for a nice, smooth keypress, and the Nylon bottom housing gives the switch a solid, thocky bottom-out. These switches are provided with no factory lube for a consistent stock typing experience, however as with lubing most linears, we recommend 205g0 applied to the bottom housing and stem, with GPL 105 or your choice of oil for the springs. This will help to deepen the sound further and guarantee a super smooth keypress.

Adding to our TTC switch line are the TTC Ace linear switches! These linear switches boast an impressively smooth stock typing experience with factory lube on the legs and side parts of the stem, and this great switch feel is improved further by the 60g double-extension spring for a snappy return. With minimal stem wobble and no housing wobble, these switches are a real sleeper hit for the quality and price offered!

Gateron Oil King linear switches are a phenomenal addition to Gateron’s switch repertoire – offering a super smooth, thocky keypress with consistently applied factory lube to help avoid spring ping and unnecessary friction. Similar to the Gateron CJ switches, the Oil Kings implement the proprietary Ink housing material blend, but this time for the bottom housing. The top housing is instead using a PA66 Nylon plastic, which, in conjunction with the POM stem, results in an impressively smooth keypress from actuation to upstroke. The stem tolerances in the top housing are also fantastic, with only a very slight amount of wobble, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing as it can help prevent possible stem binding on the top housing on the upstroke.

Gateron has also been experimenting with different spring lengths, and the Oil Kings feature a matching 20mm black spring allowing for the light actuation and heavy bottom-out weights.

For those that prefer to be able to buy switches, install them straight into their board, and type on will be more than satisfied with Gateron Oil Kings!

This is Prevails’ new Epsilon linear switch manufactured by JWK! This switch features a bright orange color, full nylon housing, JWK’s P3 stem (same stem from their Durock POM linear switches), and a 68g gold-plated progressive spring.

With the JWK produced full nylon housing, mystery material stem from their POM linear switches, and progressive spring, this switch will have not only a nice, smooth, bouncy feeling when typing it also has a very pleasing sound signature.

In collaboration ElBoard’s DMK Gift keycap set, PangHu has designed the Gift linear switch! Sharing similar components of the Giant V5 linear switches, both using an UHMWPE stem and Nylon bottom housing, the Gift switches have a smooth keypress from start to finish. The differing factor is in their acoustics, as the PME top housing in the Gift switches aid in providing a clackier upstroke.

Gateron CJ switches, the newest switch from the manufacturer as of September 2021, are a great linear switch that have a smooth, satisying keypress and will certainly satisfy clacky linear lovers. While all-POM switches tend to run into issues of feeling leathery, Gateron’s proprietary Ink housing plastic is used effectively in the top housing to allow for a smooth actuation and to round out the clacky sound. With a 50g actuation and 60g bottom-out, you won’t need to worry about fatigue using these in a daily driver.

While Gateron CJ switches are just fine stock, they do benefit from being lubed, though any lube of choice is satisfactory. With most linear switches, we recommend Krytox 205g0 on the housing and stem, and GPL 105 or GPL 106 on the springs. Depending on the type of lube used, the acoustics will deepen slightly, so if you’re not a fan of the sound being quite as clacky, then going with a thicker lube may be the way to go!

Gateron Black Ink V2 linear switches are one of the community’s most favoured switches to date, seeing use in an enormous number of builds from the average enthusiast up to professional streamers and e-sports competitors. They sport a proprietary plastic mix not seen before in Gateron’s switches, which has helped the switch become well-known for its stock smoothness and bassy accoustics. They also have matching black springs, which have little spring ping on stock Ink switches.

Lubed, Black Ink V2s are pretty hard to beat in terms of smoothness and sound; we would recommend Krytox 205g0 on the housing and stem, with GPL 105 or GPL 106 on the springs. The Ink housing is also incredibly tight, and have found that 0.125mm TX films are some of the few types of films that will fit.

The Naevy switch project has been years of continual research and development into tactile switches. The tactile switch market was been stagant and without any innovation and required acquisition of multiple switches to be put together – increasing over cost, plastic waste and effort.

The aim of the Naevy switch is to create a new type of tactile – affordable and good as a stock switch. The stem is an original mold owned by AEBoards and it uses a panda derivative housing (most commonly used for tactile switch modding). All funding was paid for by AEBoards without any GB money involved – they shouldered the risk on the project because they believe in what they’re providing to the community.

For the Raeds, they’ve taken what they like about the Naevies and put that into a linear version. It includes the same materials, but with a custom stem mould that is longer and smoother than the average linear.

We’re happy to announce that we’re (finally) carrying Gateron switches! The first two that we’re carrying are the full milky-housing Gateron Yellows, and milky-top Gateron Blacks. These were chosen primarily for both their acoustics and smoothness. They’re very budget-friendly, and while they do have some scratch to them while stock, they take very well to lube and films, and Gateron Yellow springs are so well-loved that the switches are bought just to harvest them!

Highly effective at reducing spring ping. Our genuine GPL 106 is a military-grade lubricant used, in the keyboard community, primarily for spring lubing as well as switch lubing. Provided directly from the manufacturer for guaranteed quality assurance.

GPL 106 is a very-low-viscosity lubricant/oil that is a staple of the keyboard community for spring lubing. A couple of drops into a small ziploc bag, a good shake for a couple of minutes, and you have a fairly even spread of oil across all of your springs! This will save much time and frustration of attempting to do each spring individually. As this has a higher viscosity than GPL 105, it is more applicable for lubing switch housings and stems too.

TX springs have been kindly supplied by TX Keyboards, a Korean-based company that provides high-quality springs at an affordable price. Due to the quality control extent that TX Keyboards has gone through, these springs will not have a deviation outside of -1/+1 for spring weight.

They have provided a wide variety of spring weights; the force of these spring weights is measured at bottom-out. Differently-weighted springs will feel different depending on what type of switch they are put into, and it is important to understand that it can drastically change how the switch performs.

The difference in the spring length will affect the initial force for the keypress, but does not affect the bottom-out weight. So, the 16mm springs will have a higher initial weight than the 14mm springs, but the bottom-out weight will be the same on both.

TX switch films have been kindly supplied by TX Keyboards, a Korean-based company that provides high-quality polycarbonate films to improve the overall feeling of the switch. As the community continues to expand and switches continue to be developed, these films stay at the forefront of achieving the elusive endgame, wherever that may be.

These extremely thin polycarbonate films rest on the bottom housing of the switch during application.. When closed, they reduce the stem’s directional wobble and increase the tolerance of the two in combination while not increasing friction.

TX has slightly reworked their design by removing the bar that is towards the bottom of the film and instead has two short nubs. This simply makes it easier for the film to sit in the switch during application.

A thin variant has also been designed to fit Kailh switches, and is perfect for NovelKeys’ branded switches: Creams, Nolives, and the Dry/Silk series!
