Durock POM Linear Switches (10 Pack)

POM top to bottom

The Durock POM is a linear mechanical keyboard switch, also sold as the Durock Piano, made by JWK. The top and bottom housings are both moulded from a proprietary POM blend, and the stem is a POM hybrid blend that Durock has not used anywhere else. 

The result is a linear with a much deeper tone than Durock's usual linears. Black housings, milky white stem, 63.5 g spring, sold in packs of 10.

What to expect

Feel

Smooth and consistent through a full 4 mm of travel, with no bump or click. The 63.5 g bottom-out puts it on the firmer side of medium, with enough spring to catch you before you hit the bottom too hard.

Sound

Deep. POM housings absorb more of the high end than nylon or polycarbonate, so the sound sits low and rounded, with a soft bottom-out rather than a sharp one.

Spring

A 13 mm single-stage, gold-plated spring. Short and single-stage means a steady, even force through the press, with no sudden ramp near the end.

Q&A & Specifications

Questions & Answers

Will these fit my keyboard?

The Durock POM is a 5-pin MX-style switch. It fits any hot-swap board with 5-pin sockets, and 3-pin boards if you clip the two plastic guide legs. It can also be soldered to a standard MX-compatible PCB.

Is this the same switch as the Durock Piano?

Yes. Durock Piano and Durock POM Linear are two names for the same JWK-made switch.

How many do I need?

Count the keys on your board. A 60% needs around 61, a 65% around 67, a 75% around 82 and a TKL 87. Each pack holds 10, so round up and keep the spares.

Do they work with RGB?

The housings are opaque black, so per-key lighting will show through shine-through keycap legends but will not glow through the switch body itself.
