Build Extras: Switches
NOTE: THIS IS AN ADD-ON FOR KEYBOARD BUILDS ONLY.
WE DO NOT SELL SWITCHES SEPARATELY.
We now offer a variety of key switches to include with your build. Pricing depends on the number of rows of your build and the switch type. If there’s a mismatch, we’ll notify you.
If you order way too many, we’ll reach out to make sure that’s what you wanted.
So, just be sure to get enough for your build!
Switches will be mounted on the build and any extras will be included in the box.

I offer only Kailh options at present. If you want some other brand or type, feel free to reach out to me and we can work that out.
All of my options have a clear top housing making them great to pair with RGB underglow.
Kailh Pros
These are my usual general go-to switches. They’re a cut above most other basic offerings with a slightly heavier yet faster activation. They’re great both for gaming and general office work.
Purple Pros
I’ve been using these for years on one of my main keyboards and I still really dig them. Tactile. A step up and away from Cherry Browns.

Midnight Pro Silents
I’ve tried some other silent options, but I really like these and I find them the quietest so far.
They’re 5-pin, which works fine with my PCBs, plus they’ve got a similar top to the box switches, so they’re more durable and maintenance-free.
Midnight Pro Linear
In terms of specs, the linears are very similar to Cherry Reds, but QUIET, even quieter than the Cherry Red Silents.
