Glorious Gateron - Blue Switches - Tactile Clicky (120 pieces)

Product Information

The silky smoothness is the main characteristic of the Gateron switches, it is even smoother than the Cherry switches.

On the flip side, Gateron blues sound sharper and louder while the Cherry blues feel softer and more stable. The keyboard comes with a key puller which does the job, but it's a little chunky and not long enough to get both clips under all the keys.For people who like to have a sense of pressure, more rigid, and fast rebound, this is best for them.

However, I have found these little dip switches to be less than willing to stay in one place when in transport. The smooth nature of the Gateron allows it to be triggered with very light force, making it effortless to type. The Gateron Blue Switches are very tactile switches that have a very precise switching point that can be heard and felt.

But, if you notice today’s mechanical keyboard community, you will find that most users prefer the Gateron for its smoothness because that’s really what matters to them. That’s why we have incorporated Gateron switches throughout our product line and have been recognized by lots of major influencers and media including Marques Brownlee, The Next Web, Cult of Mac and CNN etc. These Gateron switches are fully SMD-LED compatible, (+) stem, and have a rated lifetime of 50 million cycles.

Item: WS Silent Linear, Switch Type : Silent Linear, Top Housing Material: Nylon, Bottom Housing Material: Nylon, Stem Material: POM, Spring: 15mm/Single Stage , Total travel: 3. I would still personally opt for the more expensive Outemu Blue as it is the closest switch to the MX Blue regarding performance. The design of the Gateron yellow switch is the same as the red switch, but the departure strength is 5g bigger, which seems small but does offer a difference in feeling.

The tactile bump is also much higher compared to other popular clones, meaning you may have less chances of bottoming out, giving you a small advantage if you practise long enough. The Gateron switches are compatible with SMD LEDs and can be illuminated through the transparent housing.

If you like a stronger feedback, you might feel that the white switch is too light and soft, and sometimes even mistakenly touched.
