Description
We're the proud exclusive distributor of Invokey's line of switches for Singapore and the SEA region!
What are the Invokeys Black Sesame Switches?
Inspired by black sesame desserts, the Black Sesame switches are the third member of our Artisanal Switch series. As part of our continued effort with Aflion to make the best out-of-the box switches, the Black Sesames are hand-lubed from the factory.
As the second linear in our lineup, we started with a lengthened spring to provide a snappier feedback, but kept the lighter spring weight that we love and prefer. The dustproof stem comes with a thick stem pole that offers a softened, less harsh bottom out, leading to a fuller deep sound.
Design Influences - Why Black Sesame?
From black sesame ice cream to black sesame buns to black sesame sweet rice balls, black sesame is such a unique ingredient that provides a rich, nutty flavor, as well as a beautiful, dark charcoal-grey color. If you've never had a black sesame dessert, you're missing out!

Switch Disclaimers
Returns and faults
Switches can't be returned or refunded for a change of mind. If a switch isn't working out of the box, let us know, and we'll test it and replace it if it's faulty.
How a switch feels, such as being scratchy, is a matter of preference and not a fault, it isn't grounds for a refund or exchange.
Before you buy
Please check your keyboard before you buy, as we can't take back switches that don't fit or work with it:
- Your PCB needs to be hot-swap or for soldering.
- Standard MX-style switches only work on standard PCBs, and optical switches only on optical PCBs.
- Magnetic (Hall effect) switches only work on Hall effect PCBs.
- Outemu hot-swap sockets are smaller than standard ones and won't take standard switch pins.
If unsure, please reach out to us or the keyboard manufacturer/ vendor that you have purchased the PCB/ keyboard from.
Switches are sold in packs, and the price shown is for the whole pack. Each listing says how many switches are in its pack. We recommend buying a few extra in case some are lost to modding.
Modifying switches
Modifying a switch, such as lubing, filming, clipping its pins or changing its spring, voids its warranty.
If your keyboard takes 3-pin switches, you may clip the two plastic side pins off 5-pin switches with flush cutters. Test the switches first: clipping is a modification and voids the warranty.
What's normal
Switch pins can bend in transit. A bent pin isn't a defect: straighten it gently with tweezers before fitting the switch, pressing a bent pin into a hot-swap socket can damage the socket. If you're unsure, reach out to us and we'll help.
Plastics can show small cosmetic marks, such as flow lines, weld lines, sink marks and flashing. These are not defects.
Fees, cancellation windows and reporting times are in our Refund Policy.
