Trigger force
Force required to register the key input. Lower values generally feel lighter.

Choose by feel.
Explain by purpose.
A buyer-friendly framework for comparing switch feel, sound, use case and price position. Exact factory models and specifications will be added after sample verification.
FIND YOUR STARTING POINT
Choose by use—not by color.
A fast recommendation for first-time buyers. Compare the suggested WASD codes in the sound tester before requesting samples.
FEEL / SOUND / USE
Four families, clearly compared.
SMOOTH / DIRECT
Linear
The stem travels without a tactile bump. Force rises progressively, making repeated inputs predictable.

PARAMETERS / PLAIN ENGLISH
Read a switch specification.
Bottom-out force
Force near the end of the stroke. It affects fatigue and perceived weight.
Measured in gfTrigger travel
Distance from rest to actuation. Shorter travel can feel faster.
Measured in mmTotal travel
Full downward movement before bottom-out. It changes depth and rhythm.
Measured in mmRated life
Laboratory durability reference—not a guarantee of identical feel forever.

WHY PRICES DIFFER
Price follows construction—not color.
Reliable standard structure
Conventional contact design, standard materials, basic spring and volume-friendly production.
Feel and acoustic refinement
Material combinations, factory lubrication, longer or staged springs, tighter tolerance and sound tuning.
Silent, speed or premium systems
Damping structures, short actuation, low-profile geometry, magnetic sensing or branded technology.
