Frequently asked
How heavy is the Iced Latte 42g?
Light — 42g actuation with a 48g bottom-out on a 20mm spring. It is an easygoing switch that suits relaxed, all-day typing.
What gives it that creamy, thocky sound?
The UPE stem is naturally slick and self-lubricating, and the modified PA12 housings absorb high frequencies, so the bottom-out lands deep and thocky rather than sharp.
Do I need to lube these?
No. The UPE stem is inherently smooth and they ship factory lubed, so they are creamy out of the bag with no tuning required.
