Frustrated with Ordinary Switches?
Scratchy & Inconsistent
Conventional materials create friction that worsens over time, ruining the typing feel.
Dust Infiltration
Open‑stem designs collect dust and debris, causing chatter or switch failure.
Dull RGB Lighting
Poor light transmission hides your keyboard’s vibrant RGB potential.
💡 Ice Mint V2 Series – A True Upgrade — POK+POM self‑lubricating formula, enclosed dustproof stem, high‑clarity diffuser, and factory pre‑lubrication for a plug‑and‑play premium experience.
Why Choose Ice Mint V2?
🧪 #1 Exclusive Material Innovation
POK + POM Self‑Lubricating · 100M Cycles with Silky Smoothness
🔹 Feature Top housing and base use advanced POM, while the stem is crafted from high‑wear POK — both inherently low‑friction.
🔹 Advantage No break‑in period required; friction is reduced by over 40%, and performance remains consistent even after heavy use.
🔹 Benefit Every keystroke feels effortlessly smooth, minimizing finger fatigue during long typing sessions.
🔹 Evidence Kailh lab tests show less than 5% variance in smoothness after 100 million presses — the new benchmark for durability.
🛡️ Enclosed Dustproof Stem
💎 High‑Clarity Diffuser
🔌 5‑pin (3‑pin compatible)
🌈 +35% RGB Brightness
🌍 Universal Compatibility
Enclosed Dustproof Stem · Cleaner, Longer Life | Light Diffuser Unleashes RGB
🔹 Feature Integrated cross‑shaped enclosure blocks dust and debris; a high‑clarity diffuser concentrates and spreads light evenly.
🔹 Advantage Dramatically improved dust resistance, stem wobble <0.3mm, and up to 35% brighter, more uniform RGB illumination.
🔹 Benefit Your keyboard stays reliable longer, and the lighting looks stunning — perfect for custom builds or pre‑built boards.
🔹 Evidence In dust‑chamber tests, lifespan doubles compared to open‑stem switches; community reviews praise “vivid, even RGB with zero dark spots.”

Ready to use out of the box, snappy return✨ Ready‑to‑Use Quality Assurance
Factory Pre‑Lubrication + High‑Reliability Metal Leaf
🔹 Feature Precision factory lubrication (rails, spring, leaf) applied; V2S features a 20mm extended spring and a newly tooled housing for extra stability.
🔹 Advantage No need to disassemble or lube — enjoy consistent smoothness right away; the longer spring provides snappy, responsive feedback with low latency.
🔹 Benefit Save time and effort while enjoying a premium, fatigue‑free typing experience that stays consistent over years.
🔹 Evidence 100% factory tested; backed by a 1‑year warranty. Enthusiasts confirm “return is crisp and wobble is virtually nonexistent.”

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between Ice Mint V2 and V2S (Ice Edge Silver)?▼
The V2S features a newly tooled housing and a 20mm extended spring for a snappier, more responsive return. Both share the same POK+POM self‑lubricating materials, dustproof stem, and factory lube; V2S is tuned for enthusiasts who prefer a stronger rebound.
Do I need to lube these switches myself?▼
No. They come pre‑lubricated from the factory using Kailh’s latest precision process (rails, spring, and leaf). Just install and enjoy a perfectly smooth experience right away.
Which keyboards are compatible?▼
Ice Mint V2 switches are standard 5‑pin MX‑style switches, compatible with most hot‑swap PCBs (Keychron, NuPhy, custom kits, etc.). For 3‑pin boards, simply clip off the two plastic positioning pins.
What makes POK stem better than standard POM?▼
POK offers an even lower coefficient of friction and superior wear resistance. Combined with the POM housing, it creates a self‑lubricating system that maintains silky smoothness for the entire 100‑million‑cycle lifespan.
Will the light diffuser affect keycap compatibility?▼
Not at all. The diffuser is integrated into the top housing and fits all standard MX‑style keycaps. It directs and diffuses RGB light for a brighter, more uniform glow without interfering with keycap mounting.
What warranty and support do you offer?▼
We provide a 1‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects. You also get 30‑day no‑questions‑asked returns. If you face compatibility issues, our support team will arrange a free exchange or refund.
