Fresh Feel. Satisfying Bumps. Zesty Typing! 🍋⌨️🔥

Give Your Mechanical Keyboard a Fresh Squeeze of Awesomeness!

Is your mechanical keyboard feeling a little boring?

Maybe those linear switches are just too smooth, or perhaps you're tired of clicky switches announcing every single email to the entire office.

Well, bru, it's time to add a little zest to your typing! 😎

Meet the NuPhy Lemon Tactile Mechanical Keyboard Switches, part of NuPhy's premium Herb Series, developed in collaboration with Gateron.

Designed for mechanical keyboard enthusiasts who appreciate satisfying tactile feedback, smooth operation, and a refined typing sound, these switches deliver a beautifully balanced mechanical experience.

Featuring a 55gf operating force, factory lubrication, 21mm double-stage spring, and five-pin MX-style construction, the Lemon switches are a fantastic choice for custom keyboard builds and upgrades.

Whether you're typing, gaming, programming, or building your dream mechanical keyboard, these little switches bring plenty of personality.

Fresh switches. Proper tactile feedback. Maximum typing happiness! 🍋

Tactile Feedback. Feel Every Keypress! 🎯

Some people love smooth linear switches.

Others enjoy the unmistakable click of traditional Blue switches.

But what if you want something right in the middle?

That's where the NuPhy Lemon comes in!

These switches feature a tactile bump, providing physical feedback as you press each key.

You can feel the switch's resistance change during the keystroke, offering a reassuring indication of its movement.

Unlike conventional clicky switches, Lemon switches don't use a dedicated click mechanism.

The result is a typing experience that feels satisfying without intentionally producing that sharp Blue-switch click.

A little bump. A lot of satisfaction. Proper lekker!

55gf Operating Force. A Balanced Typing Experience! 💪

The NuPhy Lemon features a manufacturer-rated 55 ± 15gf operating force.

This gives the switch a deliberate, medium-weight tactile feel that many keyboard enthusiasts enjoy.

Whether you're writing long documents, working through spreadsheets, or coding your next big project, the Lemon offers a distinctive alternative to lighter linear switches.

The tactile feedback also makes each keystroke feel more defined.

Not too light. Not ridiculously heavy. Just a wonderfully satisfying squeeze! 🍋

Factory Pre-Lubricated. Smoothness Straight Out of the Box! ✨

Nobody wants to spend hours lubricating tiny keyboard switches unless that's their favourite weekend hobby.

Thankfully, NuPhy has already done some of the work!

The Lemon switches come factory pre-lubricated, helping reduce friction and improve smoothness.

Factory lubrication can also help manage unwanted spring noise and certain mechanical sounds.

That means you can install the switches into a compatible keyboard and enjoy their intended typing characteristics without manually lubricating every single switch.

Less maintenance. More typing. That's our kind of upgrade!

21mm Double-Stage Spring. Small Spring, Big Personality! ⚙️

Behind every satisfying mechanical keypress is a carefully designed spring.

NuPhy Lemon switches feature a 21mm double-stage spring, contributing to their distinctive resistance and return feel.

Combined with the tactile mechanism, the spring helps deliver a controlled typing experience.

Whether you're tapping away at a casual pace or flying through a long document, it's a thoughtful addition to the switch's design.

Who knew something so tiny could make typing feel this good?

A Refined Sound Profile. Let Your Keyboard Sing! 🎵

Mechanical keyboards aren't just about how they feel.

They're also about how they sound!

The Lemon is designed to offer a satisfying tactile sound without the dedicated click mechanism of traditional Blue switches.

Depending on your keyboard's construction, keycaps, mounting design, and acoustic materials, it can produce a lively, slightly higher-pitched typing character.

The factory lubrication helps manage unwanted friction and certain mechanical noises.

And because sound is a big part of mechanical keyboard enjoyment, the Lemon is a fantastic choice for users who want something with personality.

Not completely silent. Not obnoxiously clicky. Just properly satisfying!

MX-Style Compatibility. Make Your Keyboard Yours! 🛠️

Love experimenting with different mechanical switches?

NuPhy has you covered!

The Lemon features a five-pin MX-style mounting design, making it suitable for compatible normal-profile mechanical keyboards.

It's a great option for supported hot-swappable keyboards, allowing you to change switches without soldering.

Simply remove the existing switches using a suitable switch puller and carefully install your new Lemon switches.

Want to mix different switch types across your keyboard?

You can experiment with different combinations on compatible boards too!

Your keyboard. Your switches. Your perfect typing experience!

Perfect for NuPhy Halo, Field75 & Gem80! ⌨️

NuPhy officially lists the Lemon switches as compatible with several of its popular mechanical keyboards.

These include:

• NuPhy Halo65
• NuPhy Halo75
• NuPhy Halo96
• NuPhy Field75
• NuPhy Gem80

They're a particularly appealing option for Gem80 owners who want to build a custom keyboard with satisfying tactile switches.

The normal-profile MX-style design also makes them suitable for many compatible keyboards from other manufacturers.

Important: These are conventional normal-profile mechanical switches, not low-profile Air-series switches or magnetic Hall Effect switches.

Premium Switch Materials. Built for Mechanical Magic! 💎

NuPhy and Gateron combine carefully selected materials to create the Lemon's distinctive characteristics.

POM Stem

The moving component of the switch, designed for consistent mechanical operation.

Polycarbonate Top Housing

Provides a sturdy upper housing and supports light transmission from compatible keyboard LEDs.

Nylon PA66 Bottom Housing

Forms the durable base of the switch assembly.

21mm Double-Stage Spring

Contributes to the switch's tactile resistance and return characteristics.

Combined with factory lubrication, these materials deliver a carefully developed mechanical switch experience.

Proper engineering. Tiny package. Seriously satisfying results!

Five-Pin Mounting. Extra Stability for Your Build! 🔧

The NuPhy Lemon features a five-pin mounting design.

Alongside the electrical contact pins and centre mounting post, two additional plastic alignment pins help position the switch in compatible PCB layouts.

This provides additional mechanical alignment for supported keyboards.

The Lemon can also be installed in appropriate plate-mounted builds that support its pin configuration.

For three-pin-only PCBs, the extra plastic alignment pins may prevent installation without modification.

Always check your keyboard's socket compatibility before purchasing.

How Many Switches Do You Need? 🤔

Planning a keyboard upgrade?

Here's a handy guide to common keyboard sizes.

Keyboard Layout	Typical Number of Switches
60%	61–64
65%	65–70
75%	80–84
80% / TKL	87–88
96%	96–100
Full-Size	104–108

A 90-piece pack is suitable for many 60%, 65%, 75%, and tenkeyless layouts.

For larger keyboards, you may require additional switches.

Always check your keyboard's exact key count before purchasing.

Important: Check Your Keyboard Compatibility! ⚠️

The NuPhy Lemon is a normal-profile MX-style mechanical switch.

It is not compatible with every keyboard.

In particular, it is not intended for:

• NuPhy Air-series low-profile keyboards
• NuPhy Hall Effect magnetic keyboards
• Other magnetic-switch keyboards
• Optical-switch-only keyboards
• Proprietary low-profile mechanical keyboards
• Incompatible hot-swappable sockets

The original NuPhy Field75 uses conventional mechanical switches, while the Field75 HE uses Hall Effect technology.

These are different keyboards and require different switch types.
