Kailh Sun 50g

My take on the Kailh Sun 50g, a clicky plate-mount switch with a central light pipe built for RGB boards. Specs, sound, feel and tuning notes.

Frequently asked

Is the Kailh Sun 50g loud?

Yes. It is a genuine clicky switch, so every keypress lands with a sharp, audible click. It is not an office-friendly choice if you share a room.

Why does it have a hole in the middle?

The central light pipe is designed to sit over a per-key LED so the light shines straight up through the switch. On a hot-swap RGB board it makes the legends glow noticeably brighter.

Should I lube these?

Leave the click mechanism alone — lubing it kills the click that you bought the switch for. At most, a tiny bit of lube on the spring to quiet ping.
