EC switches, domes and sliders for EC boards

With EC switches the typing feel comes from a rubber or silicone dome, and detection works contact-free through capacitance. Here you find complete switches and single parts to tune your EC board.

Complete EC switches

The AEBoards Naevies are EC switches in the MX footprint: nylon housing, a 45 g silicone dome, 3.9 ± 0.2 mm travel, silent ring included. The Naevies EC 55g have a heavier dome and come closer to the classic Topre 55 g feel. MX stabilizers and MX keycaps fit.

EC domes

The dome defines the feel. AEBoards offers 60g Purple Linear domes (softer collapse) and 55g Teal Tactile domes (stronger). Both are meant for Naevies EC and the hall effect version Raeds HE. From MetaPulse there is the Red Series (RS) in eight weights from 25 to 55 g with soft, round feedback and the Blue Series (BS) from 40 to 75 g with a strong bump.

Sliders, housings and bundles

The MetaPulse EC Parts Bundles contain housings, sliders, domes, springs, stabilizer wires and silencing rings for 60/65%, TKL and full size, with either MX or OEM sliders.

What to keep in mind

EC switches only run on EC PCBs, not on MX PCBs, hot-swap boards or HE PCBs. Domes only fit their own system: Naevies domes do not fit Topre housings, and vice versa. Finished boards are under EC / Topre, hall effect switches under hall effect switches.
