Why Gateron Switches?
It feature exceptional smoothness. But that doesn't mean Gateron switches are only for typing. It comes in a variety of six colors, each with different attributes. Gamers are just as in love with these Gateron mechanical switches which are responsive, smooth and budget friendly. It covers all your needs and feel free to choose it.
Gateron Mechanical Switches Or Gateron Optical Switches
Gateron Optical switches feel a little like linear mechanical switches (no tactile bump) but a bit smoother. This is because there isn't a leaf so there isn't any friction. Instead, optical switches use a light beam to sense when the switch passes through it (actuates) which means quicker response rates than mechanical switches. Optical switches also usually last twice as much as mechanical switches with a lifespan of up to 100 million keystrokes.
Make the Switch
Manufactured with clear casings, Gateron Switches have quickly become one of the most sought after names in the keyboard community. Gateron Switches use copper contact leafs and soft plastic stems, making for an unparalleled, smooth typing experience. Gateron Blacks come with a 50g linear (no tactile) feedback. For those looking for a bit more tactile feedback, there are the clicky 55g Blues with a notably high actuation point and the 45g tactile Browns.
Build Quality
