Top housing, bottom housing and stem are all clear, so RGB from the PCB passes straight through and lights the keycap evenly instead of leaking out of the sides. If you have a board with per-key lighting and want it to actually show, this is the sort of switch to put in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath the looks it is a medium-weight linear: 52 g to actuate and 62 g at the bottom, with a 20 mm progressive spring that starts light and firms up as you press. The switches come factory lubed and ready to install, sold here in packs of 10.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-center\"\u003eWhat to expect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-grid-3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-item-text\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeel\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmooth and consistent through the whole 3.5 mm of travel, with no bump or click. The progressive spring gives a slightly firmer landing than a standard spring of the same weight, which helps if you tend to bottom out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-item-text\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSound\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNylon-based housings and a modified nylon stem give the Ice King a rounder, slightly deeper tone than the sharp sound usually associated with clear polycarbonate switches. Durock describes it as a unique profile with a crisp, responsive feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-item-text\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLighting\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery part of the switch is transparent, so there is nothing blocking the LED.

It fits any hot-swap board with 5-pin sockets, and 3-pin boards if you clip the two plastic guide legs.

A 60% needs around 61, a 65% around 67, a 75% around 82 and a TKL 87.

Lighter than many 60 g plus gaming linears, heavier than the 40 to 45 g switches aimed at fast typists.
