They are also RGB-compatible, so your existing per-key RGB lighting will work seamlessly with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Do I need to lube the Chosfox Yichu switches before installing them?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No additional lubing is necessary. These switches come factory lubed for smooth linear performance from the moment you install them. However, keyboard enthusiasts who prefer an even more refined feel may optionally apply additional lubricant to further customize the experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: How many switches do I need for a full keyboard build?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The number of switches depends on your keyboard layout — typically 60–65 switches for a 60% layout, around 87 for a tenkeyless (TKL), and 104+ for a full-size layout. Check your keyboard's key count before ordering to ensure you have enough for your build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What makes the Chosfox Yichu Silent Linear switches different from standard mechanical switches?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The Chosfox Yichu Silent Linear switches feature a sound-dampening mechanism that minimizes noise during actuation, POM stems for self-lubricating smoothness, and factory lubing — delivering a quieter, smoother keystroke compared to standard linear or tactile switches right out of the package.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Are these switches compatible with my keyboard?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes — as long as your keyboard has a 5-pin MX-style hot-swap PCB, these switches will fit directly without soldering.
