Why Choose Full POM Switches?

POM (Polyoxymethylene) is a high-performance engineering plastic widely used in precision mechanical components. In keyboard switches, full POM construction is celebrated for its naturally slick surface finish, which reduces friction between the stem and housing without requiring additional lubrication. The result is a smooth, slightly muted sound profile that many typists and gamers prefer. Learn more about mechanical switch technology and materials from the NIST Materials Science resources.

Perfect For

• Keyboard hobbyists and enthusiasts
• Gamers seeking a low-profile, responsive switch
• Office typists who prefer a quieter, slimmer keyboard experience
• Anyone upgrading or experimenting with their keyboard's feel

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes the Kailh Low Profile Full POM Elements Series switches different from standard switches?

A: The Kailh Low Profile Full POM Elements Series switches feature a full POM (Polyoxymethylene) housing and stem, which provides a naturally smoother, lower-friction actuation compared to standard nylon or polycarbonate switches. The low-profile design also makes them ideal for slim keyboard builds, offering a shorter travel distance and a more compact overall height.

Q: Are these switches compatible with my existing keyboard?

A: These switches are designed for Kailh low-profile compatible PCBs. Before purchasing, please verify that your keyboard or PCB supports Kailh low-profile switches, as they use a different footprint than standard (MX-style) switches. They are not directly compatible with standard MX switch sockets.

Q: Do I need to lube Full POM switches?

A: One of the advantages of full POM switches is that the POM material is naturally self-lubricating, which means many enthusiasts choose to use them stock (unlubed) and still enjoy a smooth feel. However, applying a thin coat of switch lubricant can further refine the sound and feel if desired.

Q: How many switches are included, and what color options are available?

A: Please refer to the product variant selector for pack quantities and available color options. The Elements Series is offered in 9 color variants, so you can choose the one that best fits your keyboard's aesthetic.
