Still Dealing with Scratchy Linears & Slow Returns?
Mushy or Muffled Bottom‑Out
Standard linear stems produce dull, inconsistent landing sounds — lacking the satisfying “thock.”
Sluggish Rebound
Weak springs make rapid typing feel laggy, hurting gaming performance.
Harsh or Uneven RGB
Solid housings block lighting; cheap diffusers create hot spots instead of a soft glow.
💡 CP Switch PRO – Precision Engineering, Dual Force Choices — Extended conical stem for crisp HIFI sound, 20mm spring for snappy return, POK+POM self‑lubricating materials, and an upgraded frosted diffuser for perfect RGB uniformity.
Why CP Switch PRO Sets a New Standard
🎵 #1 Extended Conical Stem – Crisp HIFI Bottom‑Out
Long‑Stem Early Bottom‑Out · Pure Acoustic Clarity
🔹 Feature Extended POM stem with a conical base design, optimizing contact area for a focused, early bottom‑out.
🔹 Advantage Eliminates mushy landing; produces a clean, resonant “thock” with zero metallic ping. POK top + POM base enhance acoustic purity.
🔹 Benefit Feel and hear every keystroke with premium HIFI feedback — ideal for gamers, writers, and ASMR enthusiasts.
🔹 Evidence Lab tests confirm 30% sharper sound clarity vs. standard linear stems; community reviews praise the “addictive crispness.”
🦋 Blue Butterfly (Light)
🦋 Butterfly Dance (Balanced)
🧪 POK Top + POM Stem/Base
💎 Frosted Diffuser
🎮 Dual Force Choices for Any Playstyle
Two Versions · One Perfect Linear Feel
🔹 Feature Two distinct force options: Blue Butterfly (~38gf) and Butterfly Dance (~45gf). POK top housing, POM stem, and POM base deliver ultra‑low friction.
🔹 Advantage Choose your ideal weight without compromising smoothness. POK+POM materials create a self‑lubricating surface, reducing wear and maintaining consistency.
🔹 Benefit Tailored experience for gaming (fast, responsive) or long‑form typing (controlled, fatigue‑free). RGB glows evenly through the upgraded frosted diffuser.
🔹 Evidence Kailh’s proprietary material blend reduces coefficient of friction by 25% vs. standard PC/PA66 combos; diffuser increases perceived brightness by 30%.
⚙️ Full‑Component Factory Lube | 20mm Extended Spring | 70M Life
Point‑oil on rails & leaf · Spring bath lube · Ready to install🔒 Precision Lube for Ultimate Smoothness
Advanced Factory Lubrication + High‑Durability Contacts
🔹 Feature Multi‑part lubrication: top housing rails oiled, spring fully bathed, base leaf points oiled, bottom shell dipped. Gold‑plated contacts with high‑life metal leaf.
🔹 Advantage Eliminates all scratch and spring ping; ensures consistent smoothness for 70 million cycles. 20mm high‑rigidity spring provides strong, snappy rebound.
🔹 Benefit Zero maintenance — unbox, install, and enjoy a silent, buttery‑smooth linear with lightning‑fast return.
🔹 Evidence 70M cycle rating verified by Kailh; user reports confirm “factory lube is perfect — no need to touch them.”

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between Blue Butterfly and Butterfly Dance?▼
Blue Butterfly features a lighter operating force (~38gf) for effortless, rapid typing — ideal for gaming and speed. Butterfly Dance offers a balanced 45gf actuation, providing more controlled feedback for those who prefer a slightly firmer linear feel while retaining the same smoothness and sound profile.
Do I need to lube these switches myself?▼
No. The CP Switch PRO comes with Kailh’s advanced factory lubrication: top housing rails oiled, spring fully bathed, leaf contact points oiled, and base shell oiled. They are ready to use out of the box with zero scratch or ping.
What makes the sound “HIFI” on these switches?▼
The extended conical POM stem combined with the POK top housing creates a focused, early bottom‑out that produces a clean, crisp “thock” without metallic overtones. The precision lubrication eliminates all unwanted noise, leaving a pure acoustic signature.
Are they compatible with 3‑pin PCBs?▼
Yes, these are 5‑pin switches, but the two plastic positioning pins can be clipped off to fit 3‑pin hot‑swap or solder PCBs without any issue.
How durable are the gold‑plated contacts?▼
Gold‑plated contacts provide exceptional corrosion resistance and stable conductivity, rated for over 70 million keystrokes. This significantly reduces the risk of chattering or failure over years of heavy use.
What’s the return policy if I choose the wrong force version?▼
We offer a 30‑day no‑questions‑asked return policy. If you decide the force isn’t right for you, simply contact our support team for a full refund or exchange.
