The technical data of a switch can be hard to understand. Our goal here is to demystify how these specs affect feel and sound. We hope this helps you discover whether or not a switch might be a good fit.

Bottom-out: 63.5g

Bottoming out, or pressing all the way down, on this Durock Piano switch requires 63.5g of force. With a heavier bottom-out than 65% of switches in our selection, the Durock Piano is considered medium-heavy.

A switch's bottom-out force is dependent solely on its spring weight.

Not factory lubed

The Durock Piano is not factory lubed (also known as a dry switch). This makes it most ideal for enthusiasts who, if desired, seek to lube their own switches for the most customizability, precision, and flexibility with specific lube options. Moreover, the material blend of a given switch may not necessitate additional factory lubing.

Top and Bottom Housing: Proprietary POM blend

Proprietary POM blend is the Durock Piano's top and bottom housing material. Although we do not know the exact details of this blend, we know that this POM blend offers a uniquely satisfying and deep sound profile.

Mount type: PCB (5-pin)

The Durock Piano is a PCB (5-pin) mount switch. PCB-mount, or 5-pin, switches feature 2 extra alignment pins when compared to their 3-pin counterparts. This ensures alignment (i.e. switch won't rotate and will stay in place) if your keyboard does not feature a plate or if you choose not to use one. If your keyboard's PCB does not have holes for these alignment pins, you will need to trim them off before installing them.

Stem construction: Standard

The cross-shaped stem construction is the most standard as well as the most classic, as it is derived from the original Cherry switches.
