FAQ

Can these switches be used in any mechanical keyboard?

They are compatible with any hot‑swap keyboard that accepts Cherry MX‑style 3‑pin switches. Check your keyboard’s specifications to confirm hot‑swap support before installing.

Do the switches require soldering?

No. The three‑pin design is intended for hot‑swap sockets, so you can simply pull out the old switch and press the new one into place without solder.

What is the difference between linear and tactile switches?

Linear switches provide a smooth, consistent travel without a tactile bump, which is ideal for fast key repeats. Tactile switches have a noticeable bump at the actuation point, offering more feedback for typing.

How do I install the switches safely?

First, remove the keycaps with a keycap puller. Use a switch puller to extract the existing switches. Align the new switch pins with the PCB holes, press firmly until it clicks, then reattach the keycaps.

Is there a warranty on these switches?

Yes, KBTech provides a 90‑day satisfaction guarantee and a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects.
