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

Product Information

Some people might think that Cherry reds are slightly scratchy, compared to the Gateron reds, though the difference is subtle. These Gateron switches are fully SMD-LED compatible, (+) stem, and have a rated lifetime of 50 million cycles. If you take a look at both switch stems, you will notice that Cherry makes the stem fit tighter, which leads to a stiffer feel for its users. On the flip side, Gateron blues sound sharper and louder while the Cherry blues feel softer and more stable. They are particularly easy to use there, but of course they can also be used on other keyboards or DIY projects, such as the ONE 3 keyboards from Ducky.

The Gateron switches bring significant improvements to the (still) market-dominating Cherry switches. 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. Compatible with any hot-swaps mechanical gaming keyboards/DIY custom keyboards with 2-Pin LED/4-Pin LED/SMD-LED or RGB-SMD lights. After looking at an independant review between the Cherry MX and Gateron switches, the conclusion was that they might as well come from the same factory, as everything was the same except the colour of the casing. Featuring: Polycarbonate transparent top housing Nylon bottom housing Foundry: KTT(Content) Switch Type: Linear Bottom Housing Type: 3 Pins Knock Life: 50 million times Actuation force: 40±20gf.The switch’s improved oxidation resistance and anti-vulcanization performance helps to increase the keyboard switch’s lifespan and longevity. Since you don't have to use too much heavy force to type, the sound of typing will also be relatively low.

For people who like to have a sense of pressure, more rigid, and fast rebound, this is best for them. Those who love the strong feedback and prefer a smooth and stiff feedback should look into Gateron Black switches. I would still personally opt for the more expensive Outemu Blue as it is the closest switch to the MX Blue regarding performance. Different people prefer the different switches, you can find the moste suitable switch for yourself.

We judge the switched by these 3 categories and tell you the difference between the switches from the detailed structure. The Gateron G Pro Switch, however, goes a step further and adds pre-lubed technology to the already polished feeling switches for a smooth actuation. Brand: Wuque Studio, Switch Type: Linear, Actuation force: 60g Manufacturer: Haimu Top Housing Material: POM Bottom Housing Material: POM Stem Material: UPE Light Diffuser Material: PMMA Spring 18mm/Double. If you would like to enjoy a smooth and natural typing feeling then the Gateron switch is a must have. Through the MX (+) port, the switches can also be used in keyboards equipped with Cherry MX switches.
