Lineaire Schakelaar Toetsenbord

Yes, linear switches are typically the quietest mechanical switch option. Because they don't have a "click" mechanism (like Blue switches), the only sound comes from the key bottoming out. They are excellent for office environments, dorm rooms, or late-night gaming sessions.

The industry standard color for linear switches is Red. However, you will also see Silver (Speed switches), Black (Heavier spring), and Yellow (often smoother/lubed). Always look for the word "Linear" in the specs.

Yes. Most of our keyboards feature hot-swappable PCBs. This allows you to pull out the stock linear switches and replace them with any other 3-pin or 5-pin mechanical switches to customize your sound and feel without soldering.

Many Attack Shark keyboards come with pre-lubed switches from the factory, offering a smooth feel right out of the box. However, enthusiasts often manually lube linear switches to achieve that deep, premium "thocky" sound popularized by the custom keyboard community.

Yes. While they are marketed for gaming, many people love typing on linear switches because they are light and smooth. This reduces finger fatigue during long typing sessions. It may take a day to get used to the lack of a tactile bump, but the fluidity is unmatched.

Most standard linear switches (like Reds) have an actuation force of around 45g. This is considered a "light" switch, meaning you don't need to press hard to register a key, which helps reduce strain on your fingers.

Absolutely. Our linear switches use the standard cross-stem (MX style), which means they are compatible with 99% of the custom keycap sets available on the market.

Yes. Attack Shark keyboards are fully compatible with both Windows and macOS. You can easily switch between system modes using a key combination or a physical toggle switch on the device.

Both are linear. Red is the standard linear switch. Silver (often called "Speed Silver") has a shorter actuation point, meaning the key registers sooner. Silver is designed specifically for competitive gaming where every millisecond counts.

Because linear switches are light and smooth, some beginners might accidentally press keys when resting their fingers. However, most users adapt within a few days and find that their typing speed actually increases due to the frictionless travel.
