Everglide Crystal Violet Custom Mechanical Switches

With a round tactile bump similar to v2 Zealios or Holy Panda switches, the Everglide Crystal Violet custom mechanical switches offer a satisfying typing experience for hours on end. Rated for 50 million presses, they have a clear purple ABS plastic housing and a violet stem. The initial force of 45 grams provides a welcome tactile threshold to overcome for a nice feel. Available in packs of 70 or 110, these switches will elevate any board you put them in.

When it comes to mechanical keyboards, half the fun is swapping switches, keycaps, and components. Hotswappable keyboards are convenient ways to audition new switch types without the need to solder, but some PCBs have really stiff sockets and pins—so having a high-quality switch puller can save you a lot of time and effort. This high-quality puller from LOOP has a rubber coating for grippability and comfort, meaning you won’t have to worry about stiffness when pulling lots of switches. And the hooked, inward-curving claws reach safely and snugly around your hot-swappable or desoldered switches to give you leverage without doing damage.
