What is purchased for my Redragon Kala K557?
Hi, I bought this keyboard about two years ago with blue switches, and I notice they’re starting to wear out a bit. I’m looking for a quieter option, something like black switches. The keyboard came with a set of two red, two blue, two brown, and two black switches, so I’ve tried them all and am now leaning toward the black ones. I’m wondering which exact switches I should purchase to achieve this. Some people suggested Outemu blacks, but I have limited knowledge about keyboard switches, so any advice would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.
Quick update:
Could these be viable options?
I was considering purchasing only 70 pieces, positioning them where the letters are, because I use that part of the keyboard most. I don’t need black switches for the numpad since I don’t use it much, and it would also save me some money.
For switches, it seems any 3-pin Linear, Tactile or Clicky switch will be suitable. You might consider using a 5-pin, but you'll need to modify each switch to make it work, so it's better to stick with a 3-pin switch. If you prefer the "black" style from your sample, I recommend choosing the black linear switch you mentioned and you should be fine. For the numbering, 70 is a solid starting point for your main keys, and you can purchase additional switches later if needed.
