Durock Sea Glass is a linear mechanical switch from Durock released in April 2023 with a 45 gf operating force and 2 mm pre-travel, 3.8 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.

Editor's Note: Inspired by weathered coastal sea glass, this linear switch arrives in five randomized pastel shades. Both the upper and lower housings are formed from a proprietary Polymer Nylon and UPE blend, while the upgraded P3+ stem incorporates a high-lubricity composite that practically eliminates friction. Typing produces a crisp, medium-pitched clack that avoids high-frequency plastic rattle. A detachable PMMA optical light column also ensures that backlight diffuses evenly across your keycaps.

The Durock Sea Glass 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 Sea Glass has an operating force of 45 gf. That sits in the common middle range for everyday typing and gaming.
The Durock Sea Glass has a pre-travel of 2.00 mm. Shorter actuation distances usually feel quicker because the key registers earlier in the press.
The Durock Sea Glass has a total travel distance of 3.80 mm. Total travel describes the full stroke from rest to bottom-out.
The Durock Sea Glass 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 Sea Glass 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 Sea Glass include sound profile: Clacky, sound level: Medium. Case, plate, keycaps, and desk mat can still change the final keyboard sound.
The Durock Sea Glass 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 Sea Glass lists top housing: Polymer Nylon and UPE blend, bottom housing: Polymer Nylon and UPE blend, stem: P3+, contact: Gold-plated alloy. These parts influence feel, sound, wobble, and long-term switch consistency.
