Quick answers

Linear switch questions

What is the difference between linear and tactile switches?

Linear switches travel smoothly with no bump, while tactile switches have a noticeable bump at the actuation point. Linear switches tend to be quieter and favored for gaming and fast typing.

Are these switches hot-swappable?

Several models in the selection are hot-swappable, meaning you can pull and replace switches without soldering. Check individual listings for socket type.

Do linear switch keyboards come in full-size and compact layouts?

Yes, the selection includes 65%, 75%, 96%, TKL, and full-size 104-key boards. Compact layouts drop the number pad or function row to save desk space.

Can I use a linear switch keyboard for office work?

Yes, linear switches are quiet compared to clicky types and work well for typing. Some models offer silent versions with dampened bottom-out for shared spaces.

What linear switches feel like

Linear switch keyboards have no tactile bump and no click. The keystroke is smooth from top to bottom, with resistance that builds gradually until the switch actuates. Pre-lubed linear switches appear across the selection, and several boards ship with gasket mounting for a softer bottom-out.

Sound profiles range from deep thock to creamy, depending on case material, mounting style, and keycap material. Side-printed PBT keycaps and RGB backlighting show up on multiple models. Hot-swappable sockets let you change switches without soldering.
