FAQs
How many pins do the different switches use?
Mechanical switches use a 5-pin design, while inductive switches use a 3-pin design.
What are the differences between the switches?
Tactile and linear switches deliver completely different feel and sound profiles. Each switch also varies in material, typing feel, and acoustic performance.
Which switch is better for gaming?
If you prefer clear tactile feedback, tactile switches are recommended. For maximum competitive performance, linear switches are the better choice. Among the mechanical switches, the Fast Silver Switch offers the fastest actuation. Inductive switches, when paired with compatible inductive keyboards, deliver even higher performance optimized for gaming.
Which switches support hot-swapping?
Fast Silver Switch, Clear Switch, and both inductive switches support hot-swapping.
Do Rapoo mechanical switches support custom keycaps?
Yes
Which keycaps are compatible with Rapoo mechanical switches?
Standard MX-style cross stem keycaps.
Which keyboards are compatible with Rapoo mechanical switches?
Hot-swappable Rapoo switches are compatible with all keyboards that support hot-swappable mechanical switches.
