The Alexandrite Linear Switch is aimed at mechanical keyboard enthusiasts seeking a high-quality, modding-friendly system with a good sound profile. The switch design features a housing with an HPE upper and a nylon lower part, combined with a long-pole stem that reduces stem wobble and provides a solid typing feel. The spring is relatively light at approximately 58g, giving the switch a balanced feel between responsiveness and spring tension. The sound is described as "thhocky" and deep, making it attractive for builds focused on sound and tactile feedback.
The switch is particularly suitable for keyboards where fine-tuning, sound modification (e.g., lubing, filming) and individual setup are important.
