Featuring a self-lubricating stem and factory-lubed internals, it delivers an ultra-smooth feel right out of the box. The 55gf actuation and 65gf bottom-out force offer a balanced, responsive typing experience without unnecessary resistance.

Its 20mm extended spring improves rebound stability, while the gold-plated contacts enhance conductivity and durability. Designed with a 5-pin layout, it’s fully compatible with hot-swappable mechanical keyboards and a wide range of LED types.
