// four families

Know the feel before the click.

Every switch falls into one of four families. Here's how they differ — by feel, by force, and by sound.

Linear mechanical switch
Linear
Deep & smooth

No bump, no click. One clean glide from top to bottom — fast, quiet, and the gamer favorite.

⊥ 45g↕ 2.0mm
Tactile mechanical switch
Tactile
Crisp & rounded

A bump you feel at actuation. You know the key registered without bottoming out.

⊥ 55g↕ 2.0mm
Clicky mechanical switch
Clicky
Sharp & bright

A tactile bump plus an audible click. Loud, satisfying, unmistakably mechanical.

⊥ 50g↕ 2.2mm
Silent mechanical switch
Silent
Muted thock

Dampened stems kill the clack. All the feel, almost none of the noise.
