Optical Switch
With a redesigned structure, our in-house Keychron Lava Optical switch comes with enhanced reliability, typing comfort and lets gamers play at warp speed of only 0.2ms with a lifespan of 100 million keystroke.
We’re proud to add two more amazing switches to our family.

*Keychron Lava Optical switch is compatible with our Keychron Optical switch only, NOT compatible with any MX style mechanical switch
