MX COMPATIBLE AND HOT SWAP CAPABLE The Cream Marble Switch features a standard 5-pin design. This effectively reduces wobble and minimizes the risk of contact issues during long-term use or frequent plugging and unplugging while being compatible with most hot-swappable mechanical keyboards on the market. Its shaft adopts the classic MX structure design, allowing perfect compatibility with various MX Cross shaft structure keycaps, allowing users to easily enjoy the personalized fun of DIY keyboards
Long-lasting performance: The Cream Marble Switch is designed for 50 million keystrokes and built to last, ensuring reliable operation for years to come. The switch has a lead of 2.0 ± 0.4 mm and a total path of 3.6 ± 0.4 mm, providing consistent and precise actuation that is crucial for all users, from daily writers to competitive players, while reliably maintaining its feel and function
HIGH QUALITY MATERIAL CONSTRUCTION The shaft and casing of the Cream Marble Switch are carefully crafted entirely of LY material. Compared to conventional POM material, it has a significantly lower friction coefficient. It is characterised by excellent durability and minimises the wobble of the keys to the highest extent - effectively improving stability during use while ensuring a consistent and uniform operating experience. In addition, its robust and precisely engineered structure ensures clear, crisp and pleasantly comfortable actuation noise
Factory Lubricated, Worry-Free Performance: The Cream Marble Switch is factory lubricated. This not only significantly reduces friction resistance between the components and provides a smoother key feel, but also effectively suppresses collision noise due to the damping properties of the lubricant - resulting in clearer, more pleasant actuation noise. At the same time, the lubricant fills micro gaps to reduce button wobble and improve stability during use, so users can enjoy a high-quality typing experience immediately after unpacking without additional settings
EFFORTLESS LINEAR OPERATION Given that the Creamy Jade Switch has gained great popularity and recognition among users with its outstanding performance, we are proud to officially launch the Epomaker Cream Marble Switch as a new member of the Creamy Switch family. It not only continues to provide a smooth user experience, but also has a unique texture. The Cream Marble Linear Switch provides a smooth and even button experience. At only 47 ± 5 gf to trigger and 53 ± 5 gf to push through, it finds the perfect balance between effortless operation and satisfactory feedback
