Everglide Aqua King switches are smooth linear switches built around a fully transparent polycarbonate housing and stem. There is no tactile bump and no click — the keystroke runs at an even resistance from the top of the travel to the bottom, which is what makes them a favourite for gaming and fast typing.
Key Features of the Aqua King Switches:
- Linear travel: consistent force through the whole 4mm keystroke, with no bump to work past.
- Three weights: 55g for a light, quick press, 62g as a middle ground, and 67g for a heavier, more deliberate keystroke.
- Clear polycarbonate housing: the transparent top and bottom let RGB backlighting pass straight through for bright, saturated lighting.
- Rated to 50 million actuations: built to outlast the keyboard you put them in.
Which weight should you choose?
55g suits gamers and lighter typists who want the key to fall away under the finger. 67g suits anyone who bottoms out hard and wants more resistance to push against. 62g sits between the two and is the safe choice if you are unsure.
Why Choose Aqua King?
Against a budget linear such as a stock Gateron Yellow, the Aqua King's fully transparent housing is the real differentiator: it lets far more light through, so RGB reads brighter and more saturated. The trade-off is price. If your board has no backlighting, a cheaper linear will give you a similar smooth keystroke for less.

About 5-Pin switches
5-Pin switches add two extra plastic legs for increased stability, making them ideal for PCB-mounted keyboards without a metal plate. They reduce wobbling and provide a firmer typing experience but may need pin trimming for 3-Pin-compatible boards.

Creator: Click and Thock
This sound test was recorded and published by Click and Thock. We do not own this recording and claim no rights over it — full credit goes to the creator. It plays here through YouTube's own player so you can hear the switch before buying, and so the creator receives the view.
Bear in mind a sound test always reflects the keyboard, keycaps and mods it was recorded on, so the same switch can sound different in your own build.
