Clicky
Features

  • Works with Most 5-pin Hotswap Keyboards

    Compatible with all Glorious GMMK keyboards and most mechanical keyboards with 5-pin hotswap sockets.

  • Gloriously Clicky

    Glorious Raptor switches feature a tactile bump and audible click, like Blue switches. Premium components make each press feel responsive and precise, and the audio cues from the clicks helps increase muscle memory to make your reaction time faster.

  • Top-Tier Acoustics

    Top-Tier Acoustics: Raptor's premium materials and tight build tolerances produce a rich, full typing sound that's free of pinging or scratchiness right out of the box. Their higher noise level makes them perfect for gaming setups where sound is not an issue.

  • Lubricated POM Stem

    Reduces friction for a buttery smooth press that feels addictively satisfying while typing or gaming.

  • Switch Metrics

    A 62-gram internal spring gives Raptor a heavier press resistance to make sure there are less mis-fire keystrokes without adding too much strain. Actuation Distance: 1.8 mm; Actuation Force: 55 gf; Bottom Out Distance: 3.9 mm; Bottom Out Force: 70 gf. Each metric accounts for a slight variance due to manufacturing.

    Housing color will change LED colors

    The reason why I took a star off is because if you want an all white keyboard with white LEDs the housing of the lynx switches will turn the white to a cyan. I have a picture of what a clear switch looks like next to the lynx switches and you can see the LED is white for the clear switches and the lynx gives that cyan color. Otherwise amazing switches! Sounds amazing! If you don’t mine the LED thing definitely get them! But I returned mine.

    Very Quiet, A Pleasure To Type On

    Ordered one set of these switches to try out. Installation was simple, but two plastic prongs have to be removed from each switch in order to fit onto my keyboard. After installing and testing the switches, they work as expected. They are very quiet, in contrast to the clicky switches that originally came with the keyboard. Not that much pressure is needed to press down the new switches. In short, the new keyboard switches make the keyboard much better to type on, and I would gladly purchase another set.

    Thocky Linear Galore

    [Employee of bestbuy] I highly recommend these switches if you’re looking to get a “thock” sound; pair these switches with the right board material and it will sound great! PLEASE be aware that these are a 5-pin PCB mount switch and will likely need the plastic pins to be cut off before installing on the PCB (just look on your board, if you see two metal holes and a center hole, then you’ll need to cut the two pins off of the switch.) Refer to my photos below to see what you’re looking for. Just because they don’t snap in place immediately, doesn’t mean they’re not compatible!

    Great for a Open Box Product

    I bought two boxes of these switch’s and all of them were open boxes so I got a discount even with that being said they were all in really good condition couldn’t even tell they had been used but I’d say 10 out of the 72 total switch had the pins bent and I just had to bend them back and only one that was completely broken due to the pin being folded in on itself other than that they seam like nice new switches with that oh so good factory lube job
