100 Pack Keyboard Key Switches 3 Pin Tactile Click Mechanical Key Replacement

About this deal

This pack of 100 tactile clicky mechanical keyboard switches is designed for anyone looking to replace worn-out or unwanted switches on a compatible mechanical keyboard. Mechanical keyboard switches are the individual mechanisms under each keycap that register keystrokes, and they come in three main types: linear, tactile, and clicky. Clicky switches are essentially tactile switches with a built-in noisemaker, featuring the same physical bump as a tactile switch plus a secondary mechanism that produces a sharp click sound every time the key actuates. These are 3-pin (plate-mount) switches, meaning they have two metal pins for the electrical connection and one large plastic pin in the centre for stability. They are designed to fit most MX-style mechanical keyboards. On a hot-swap keyboard, you can simply pull the old switches out and press the new ones in with no soldering needed, though if your board requires soldering the switches will still work with a little more effort. A pack of 100 is sufficient to replace every key on a standard full-size keyboard, making it a practical choice for a complete refresh or custom build.
