Product Images Frequently Asked Questions Q: What makes these switches "silent"?
A: Yellow Jade switches feature internal dampening materials that significantly reduce the bottom-out and top-out noise, making them ideal for quiet environments while maintaining strong tactile response.
Q: Can I use these in a hot-swap keyboard?
A: Yes! These 5-pin switches work perfectly with hot-swap PCBs. They're also compatible with traditional solder-mount keyboards. Just ensure your PCB supports mechanical switches (not optical).
Q: Do I need to lubricate these switches?
A: No - these switches come factory pre-lubricated for smooth operation out of the box. However, enthusiasts can add additional lubrication for further customization if desired.
Q: How do these compare to Holy Panda switches?
A: Yellow Jade switches offer similar tactile response to Holy Panda switches but with silent operation and a shorter 3.3mm travel distance. They're an excellent budget-friendly alternative with premium features.
Q: What quantity should I order?
A: Standard keyboards typically need 61-68 switches (60%), 87-90 switches (TKL), or 104-110 switches (full-size). Order a few extra for potential future replacements.
