Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes the AULA Caramel Latte V2 a good linear keyboard switch?

A: The AULA Caramel Latte V2 features a smooth linear action with no tactile bump, factory pre-lubing for silky keystrokes right out of the box, and a 50 million cycle lifespan. The 5-pin PCB-mount design adds stability, while hotswap compatibility lets you swap switches without soldering — making it an excellent choice for custom mechanical keyboard builds and gaming setups alike.

Q: Are the AULA Caramel Latte V2 switches compatible with my keyboard?

A: These switches use a standard 5-pin (PCB mount) MX-compatible design, making them compatible with most hotswap mechanical keyboards that support 5-pin switches. Note that they do not support sleeve-style hotswap. If your keyboard PCB only has 3-pin holes, you can clip two pins for compatibility. Always verify your keyboard's PCB supports 5-pin switches before purchasing.

Q: Do I need to lube the AULA Caramel Latte V2 switches before installing them?

A: No additional lubrication is required. The Caramel Latte V2 switches come factory pre-lubed, so they are ready to install and use straight away. If you prefer a more customized feel, you can always add additional lubricant to fine-tune the smoothness to your preference.

Q: How many switches do I need for a full keyboard build?

A: The number of switches depends on your keyboard layout. A full-size (100%) keyboard typically requires around 104 switches, a tenkeyless (TKL) layout needs about 87, a 75% layout uses around 84, and a 60% layout requires approximately 61. Check your keyboard's layout before ordering to ensure you get the right quantity.
