Durock POM T1 Sunflower is a tactile mechanical switch from Durock released in June 2021 with a 55 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.

Full POM housing construction gives Durock POM T1 Sunflower deeper acoustics and an increasingly smooth glide as the plastic surfaces burn in with regular use. A bold assertive D-shaped tactile bump hits immediately at the start of travel, supported by a 55gf operating force and a firm 67gf bottom-out spring across 4.0mm of travel. Keystrokes produce a deep, throaty thock that sets it apart from traditional polycarbonate housing switches. As the POM surfaces interact over time, the glide becomes increasingly smoother through natural material burn-in. Enthusiasts recommend pairing this switch with a polycarbonate plate and thick PBT keycaps to maximize its rich acoustic resonance.

Explore switches with similar technology, feel, form factor, operating force, and travel.
The Durock POM T1 Sunflower is a Mechanical switch from Durock with a Tactile feel, so its keypress character is primarily defined by that mechanism and feedback style.
The Durock POM T1 Sunflower has an operating force of 55 gf. That sits in the common middle range for everyday typing and gaming.
The Durock POM T1 Sunflower has a pre-travel of 2 mm. Shorter actuation distances usually feel quicker because the key registers earlier in the press.
The Durock POM T1 Sunflower has a total travel distance of 4 mm. Total travel describes the full stroke from rest to bottom-out.
The Durock POM T1 Sunflower lists tactile force: 70 gf, tactile position: 0.50 mm. These specs describe how noticeable the bump or click feels during a keypress.
The Durock POM T1 Sunflower 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 T1 Sunflower 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 T1 Sunflower include sound profile: Thocky, sound level: Medium. Case, plate, keycaps, and desk mat can still change the final keyboard sound.
The Durock POM T1 Sunflower 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 T1 Sunflower lists top housing: POM, bottom housing: POM, stem: POM, contact: Gold-plated alloy. These parts influence feel, sound, wobble, and long-term switch consistency.
