Gateron Switches

Gateron Mechanical Switches are standard Cherry MX-compatible linear switches. A beloved, classic series that has been popular for many years. They feature a very light factory oil lubrication (light lube), allowing them to be used smoothly right out of the box. Additionally, their simple structure makes them an excellent base for users who want to apply additional lube (tuning) as needed.

✅ A classic specification widely adopted domestically and internationally as Gateron's standard model ✅ Offered at an affordable price point, making them ideal for keyboard repairs or full keyboard replacements ✅ 3-pin design that can be directly installed on most hot-swappable PCBs
