Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to lube the BOX Glazed Ice Cream switches?▼
No. The POM housing + POK stem combination is self‑lubricating and factory‑tuned. The feel becomes even smoother with use – no additional lube required.
Is the 1.3mm actuation prone to accidental presses?▼
The light 42gf force and short travel are designed for rapid input; most gamers appreciate the speed. If you prefer a slightly heavier feel, pair them with stiffer keycaps or simply adjust your typing style – it becomes intuitive very quickly.
Will the fan‑shaped light guide fit all keycaps?▼
Yes. The curved arc design clears all standard keycap profiles (Cherry, OEM, SA, XDA, etc.). No interference or sticking issues.
Can I use these on a 3‑pin hot‑swap PCB?▼
Absolutely. The switches come with 5 pins (2 plastic positioning pins + 3 metal pins). You can clip the two plastic pins with flush cutters to convert them to 3‑pin compatibility.
How effective is the dust & spill resistance?▼
The BOX structure provides IP54‑level protection – it guards against dust ingress and accidental liquid splashes, significantly extending switch life in real‑world conditions.
