Durock POM Piano is a linear mechanical switch from Durock released in March 2021 with a 48 gf operating force and 2 mm pre-travel, 4 mm total travel, and a manufacturer rating of At least 50 million keystrokes.
Three focused profiles from published switch specifications. No overall score is generated because feel and use case are personal.
Measures actuation, travel, and force. Shorter, lighter movement favors speed. Advanced input features add capability.
Measures bump or click intensity. It uses feel type and tactile-force rise. Higher scores mean stronger feedback.
Measures published lifespan evidence. It uses documented construction details. It does not predict real-world reliability.

Celebrated for its low acoustic pitch, Durock POM Piano combines a full POM housing with an upgraded UPE stem for maximum natural smoothness. The 48gf actuation force and 63.5gf spring offer a weighted and luxurious linear stroke with a full 4.0mm travel distance. Studio sound tests confirm a deep, resonant bottom-out thock that keyboard hobbyists frequently seek out. The self-lubricating properties of POM and UPE ensure that the travel remains glassy smooth and improves with regular use. Placing this switch on a flex-cut polycarbonate plate produces an exceptionally rich and full sound profile.

The Durock POM Piano is a Mechanical switch from Durock with a Linear feel, so its keypress character is primarily defined by that mechanism and feedback style.
The Durock POM Piano has an operating force of 48 gf. That sits in the common middle range for everyday typing and gaming.
The Durock POM Piano has a pre-travel of 2 mm. Shorter actuation distances usually feel quicker because the key registers earlier in the press.
The Durock POM Piano has a total travel distance of 4 mm. Total travel describes the full stroke from rest to bottom-out.
The Durock POM Piano is listed as 5-pin, MX keycap compatibility is yes, and hot-swap compatibility is yes. Always match the switch pins and keyboard PCB/socket before buying.
Yes. The Durock POM Piano is listed as factory lubed. Factory lubrication can affect out-of-box smoothness and sound, but its effect can vary with the keyboard build and keycaps.
Available sound-related specs for the Durock POM Piano include sound profile: Thocky, sound level: Medium. Case, plate, keycaps, and desk mat can still change the final keyboard sound.
The Durock POM Piano is rated for At least 50 M cycles. Lifespan ratings are lab-cycle estimates, so real-world durability can also depend on build quality and usage.
The Durock POM Piano lists top housing: POM, bottom housing: POM, stem: P3, contact: Gold-plated alloy. These parts influence feel, sound, wobble, and long-term switch consistency.
