Frequently asked
Why does the Prestige Voice sound poppy?
It uses a long-pole stem, which shortens the travel and makes the bottom-out hit early and sharp. That harder, earlier impact is what gives the switch its characteristic bright, clacky pop.
How light is it?
It actuates around 40g and bottoms out near 50g, so it is a light switch. Combined with the short 3.4mm travel it feels fast and easy to press.
Does it come lubed?
Yes, it is factory lubed and the all-POM construction is smooth out of the box, so it is comfortable to use without any tuning.
