Meet the Keychron Apex Mechanical Switches. Built with a transparent cover, a dust-proof walled stem, and factory pre-lubrication, they provide smooth, consistent keystrokes.

Premium Mechanical Switch Structure

Every detail of the Keychron Apex Mechanical Switch is carefully designed to provide near-perfect consistency and smoothness with every press. It comes in red, brown, and banana. These custom switches are available in linear and tactile options.

The Keychron Apex Mechanical Banana switch provides earlier tactile bumps and stronger tactile feedback than a regular brown switch. It features a spring to provide a stronger return and a more consistent feel.
