The core design principle replaces standard spring grease with a specialised Japanese silencing oil, targeting a smoother, less audible keypress. With a 1.9mm trigger stroke and a 38g operating force, they cater to users seeking a light, consistent actuation. The construction involves multiple specialised materials, including a POM shaft core and a POK polymer upper cover, assembled into a bridge plug-in shell structure. Sold in a pack of four, they provide the essential parts for modifying or constructing a section of a custom keyboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures and Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four Dew Axis-4 custom linear mute mechanical keyboard switch bottoms showing three-colour shaft core\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/07bdedd1-e099-474e-8739-ef506aeb6230.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe switch bottom is defined by its material composition and specific silencing approach. It moves away from conventional switch lubrication to achieve its performance characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterial and Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shaft core is a three-colour assembly with a central POM (Polyoxymethylene) body. POM is selected for its low friction and wear resistance, which can contribute to a consistent feel over repeated use. This core is integrated with a custom-formulated soft silicone gel, which works in conjunction with the silencing oil to dampen sound. The upper cover surrounding the core is moulded from POK polymer, a material noted for its toughness and low moisture absorption. The bottom shell uses a base of PA (Polyamide) reinforced with GF C5, an improved glass-fibre material likely added for structural rigidity and dimensional stability during the keystroke cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and Practical Fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe switch is built around industry-standard dimensions for mechanical keyboard switches, allowing it to fit into typical MX-style switch sockets on custom printed circuit boards (PCBs). The specified trigger stroke of 1.9mm (±0.3mm) indicates the travel distance needed to register a keypress, while the total bottom-out stroke is 3.7mm (±0.3mm). The 16mm long, single-section XC55 spring is responsible for the force curve, providing a light 38g operating force and a 55g bottom-out force. The outer shell uses a bridge plug-in design with large buckles on both sides, which secures the internal components and interfaces with the keyboard plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUses and Placement\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four Dew Axis-4 custom linear mute mechanical keyboard switch bottoms showing three-colour shaft core\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/2f526096-b329-457f-bed6-135601a1956a.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs individual switch bottoms, these components are the foundation for a fully assembled keyboard switch. They are intended for hands-on keyboard customization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEvent or Professional Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor users in environments where keyboard noise is a distraction, such as open-plan offices, libraries, or during live streaming or recording, the muted linear profile can be beneficial. The linear action, lacking a tactile bump, allows for rapid, repeated keystrokes which some programmers or gamers may prefer. The specified force and travel parameters provide a known, repeatable typing experience that can be standardized across a full keyboard build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEveryday Home Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt home, these switches allow keyboard enthusiasts to build or modify a peripheral to their exact preference. The linear feel and focus on reduced noise can make for a more pleasant and less intrusive typing experience during long sessions, whether for work, communication, or gaming. The pack of four allows for testing the feel on a few keys or for replacing specific switches on an existing board, such as the often-used spacebar or WASD keys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits and Buying Value\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four Dew Axis-4 custom linear mute mechanical keyboard switch bottoms showing three-colour shaft core\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/4e1cebe2-70f7-4fd3-b405-27f8ae3788da.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe value of these switches lies in their specialised construction and the specific typing experience they are designed to deliver, based on the provided specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReuse and Low Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe use of durable polymers like POM, POK, and reinforced PA suggests a design focused on longevity through material choice. The silencing oil and silicone gel are integrated during manufacture and are not intended for end-user maintenance, which can simplify ownership. As a core mechanical component, the switch bottom is built to withstand millions of keystrokes as per general mechanical switch standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose This Product\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is for the keyboard builder seeking a switch with a documented, light linear action and a specific approach to noise reduction via Japanese silencing oil. The detailed specification of materials (POM shaft, POK cover, GF-reinforced PA shell) and mechanical specs (1.9mm travel, 38g force) provides transparency for an informed purchase. It offers a distinct alternative to switches using common grease lubrication and standard plastic composites, making it a component for a tailored typing experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four Dew Axis-4 custom linear mute mechanical keyboard switch bottoms showing three-colour shaft core\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/564ffc80-e27f-4219-ad20-e436523cf13b.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four Dew Axis-4 custom linear mute mechanical keyboard switch bottoms showing three-colour shaft core\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/5e04b804-c5fa-4257-bfc4-48a891c284f0.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four Dew Axis-4 custom linear mute mechanical keyboard switch bottoms showing three-colour shaft core\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/804d8d69-97c4-4f09-9f27-d0c0d8a7bcb2.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four Dew Axis-4 custom linear mute mechanical keyboard switch bottoms showing three-colour shaft core\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/88d3b03a-59bc-4042-bd0c-bfa034d9af25.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four Dew Axis-4 custom linear mute mechanical keyboard switch bottoms showing three-colour shaft core\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/d5691bc8-f2bb-40f6-92a9-1cc3530240e5.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Four Dew Axis-4 custom linear mute mechanical keyboard switch bottoms showing three-colour shaft core\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US14\/141\/2025-09-28\/original-image\/fa28b0e0-bae7-45fa-a294-b03027118b07.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"test3331r0oqb075d","offers":[{"title":"4 Pieces","offer_id":57644277563723,"sku":"CJYD189169101AZ","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1049\/9968\/2379\/files\/2f526096-b329-457f-bed6-135601a1956a.webp?v=1782086233","url":"https:\/\/mvq5jp-sd.myshopify.com\/products\/mechanical-keyboard-switch-bottom-for-custom-keyboard-builds-linear-mute-custom-mechanical-switch-with-japanese-silencing-oil-lubrication-1-9mm-trigger-stroke-38g-operating-force-4-pieces-per-pack-dew-axis-4-colour","provider":"NovaSelect.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
