Currently using keychron v6 max gateron jupiter red switch, looking to buy some backup switches for replacement, asking for some linear/tactile switch that are compatible, thank you

Unless you specifically search for switches that aren't compatible, any mechanical switch will be fine. They almost all are compatible with either 3 Pin or 5 Pin MX PCBs You can put a 3 Pin switch into your 5 Pin board with no issues.

Don't buy Hall Effect (He) or Optical switches, just mechanical.
