Here are some things to keep in mind. This is a single key switch, so if you're making a full keyboard, you'll need more. It's not a BOX stem switch. Also, our 10 - pack is a better deal if you need multiple switches. For maintenance, keep the switch clean. You can use a can of compressed air to blow away any dust or debris.
