Glorious LYNX Mechanical Keyboard Switches - Lubed / Compatible with ALL GMMK / SMD RGB light hole for RGB compatibility / 36 switches per pack / GLO-SWT-LYNX-LUBED / GLO-SWT-LYNX-LUBED

The Glorious LYNX Mechanical Keyboard Switches (GLO-SWT-LYNX-LUBED) are a lubed linear switch, sold 36 to a pack. Linear travel means the keypress runs smooth from top to bottom without a tactile step, which keeps long typing sessions and long gaming sessions easier on the fingers. Every switch carries an SMD RGB light hole and fits all GMMK models.

The LYNX top shell is moulded from robust light blue polycarbonate and carries Glorious branding, which is what gives the switch its recognisable look on an exposed-plate board. Beyond the finish, the housing is built to rigorous engineering standards from carefully selected materials, delivering the reliable actuation the LYNX is designed around for both typing and gaming.

Two parts do most of the work on a linear switch. The stem is made from soft, flexible POM (Polyoxymethylene), which is what makes the downstroke feel smooth rather than scratchy. The spring is a nickel-plated design sourced from Korea, tuned for consistent return on every keystroke so the hundredth press feels the same as the first.

The leaf is premium-grade copper sourced from Japan, chosen for conductivity and durability so each keypress registers cleanly. The bottom shell is high-quality nylon sourced from Belgium, a material picked for its toughness, which is what keeps the switch performing after long service. Together they handle the electrical and structural side of the switch while the stem and spring handle the feel.

LYNX switches integrate with every GMMK model, RGB backlighting systems and the usual mechanical keycap sets. One installation note: on the GMMK 1 the switch legs must be trimmed before the switches go in. On later GMMK boards no modification is needed, and the switches sit alongside standard mechanical keycaps without extra parts.

This pack is the lubed version: G-Lube is applied to the upper housing, spring and stem before the switches are boxed, so they type smooth with no assembly on your side. G-Lube is a product in its own right too, a proprietary synthetic grease made for stabilizers, unlubed LYNX switches and every other switch type when you want to set the lubrication yourself.

Each pack holds 36 switches, which is enough for a complete keyboard setup or for customising part of a board you already own. Because the LYNX is a linear switch with a smooth, responsive press, it suits the two jobs that keep hands on a keyboard longest: extended gaming sessions and heavy typing work, where the smoother travel is what reduces finger strain.

An SMD RGB light hole in each housing lets backlighting pass through the switch, so a board's lighting effects still read once the LYNX is installed. One caveat worth knowing up front: the RGB effect appears less bright through the LYNX housing than through switches built with clear housings, so animations look softer rather than switched off.

The clip shows Glorious switches being typed on, so you can judge the part a spec list cannot convey: how the switch sounds under a keycap and how quickly it returns. For a linear switch like the LYNX, sound and travel are the whole decision, so it is worth listening before choosing between linear and tactile.
