Gold Plated Spring
By equipped these switches with a gold-plated spring and gold contact, it ensures oxidation resistance and anti-vulcanization performance to increase the switch’s operational lifespan to last up to 80 million times. The newly upgraded three-ply metal pins also provide excellent reliability and durability for hot-swappable use.
New Design Process
With exhaust holes set at the bottom, these switches incorporate aerodynamic principles to provide a smoother typing feel. The new added color identification area at the housing base also helps us distinguish these switch options.
