{"product_id":"deskeys-v2-switch-films","title":"Deskeys V2 Switch Films","description":"\u003cp\u003eSwitch films are thin shims that sit between a switch's top and bottom housings, tightening up loose-fitting housings to reduce stem wobble and sharpen the sound. Deskeys V2 films are the gasket-style favorite: 0.3mm thick and precisely cut, sold here as a pack of 120 films plus 16 stabilizer pads — enough for a full board with spares left over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.3mm thick gasket-style films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e120 switch films per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 stabilizer pads included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits MX-style mechanical switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e120 × Deskeys V2 switch films\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 × stabilizer pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorks with any MX-style switch that can be opened.
