Switches

The Gateron Beer Tactile Switch is a switch for people who want clear feedback, but do not want a heavy tactile switch. This switch combines an ahead tactile bump with short 3.4 mm total travel and a 22 mm dual-stage long spring. In simple terms: you feel quite early when the key activates, but the press stays relatively light and accessible. That makes it feel more playful and faster than many classic Brown-style tactiles, without becoming as heavy as true heavy tactiles. Short answer (if you want to choose quickly) Do you want a light tactile switch with clear early...

The Gateron Baby Raccoon 2.0 is a linear switch focused on a smooth feel, stable keystroke, and deeper sound profile. It is heavier than many light gaming linears, but still feels smooth and controlled during typing and gaming. In simple terms: this switch feels less “hyperactive” than speed switches or ultra-light linears. It moves smoothly, but the extra resistance makes typing feel more stable and controlled. Short answer (if you want to choose quickly) Do you want a smooth linear switch with more control, a fuller sound, and a stable keystroke? Then the Gateron Baby Raccoon 2.0 is a strong...

The Gateron Mountain-Top Linear Switch is a switch for people who want a fast, light, and direct linear switch. Because of the short 1.2 mm pre-travel, it registers earlier than many standard switches, while the 3.4 mm total travel makes it feel compact. In simple terms: you do not have to press the key as far before it reacts. That feels fast and alert, especially for gaming, but it also makes the switch more sensitive than a normal 2.0 mm linear switch. Short answer (if you want to choose quickly) Do you want a light fast-travel linear switch with quick...

The Gateron Mini i Tactile Switch is a switch for people who want clear feedback, but do not want an extremely heavy tactile switch. This switch combines a tactile keystroke with shorter 3.4 mm total travel and a 22 mm double-stage spring. In simple terms: you clearly feel when the key activates, but it remains more accessible than many heavy tactiles. The short travel makes it feel more direct, while the longer double-stage spring gives a quick and stable return. Short answer (if you want to choose quickly) Do you want a compact tactile switch with clear feedback, fast return,...

The Gateron Jupiter Red is a switch for people who want a smooth, light, and accessible linear switch. Within the Jupiter line, this is the simplest and most direct option: no bump, no click, just a straight downward movement. In simple terms: this is a switch that presses easily and gives very little distraction. It feels lighter and smoother than the Jupiter Brown, and much calmer than the Jupiter Banana. That makes it pleasant for daily typing and gaming, but also less pronounced if you want a lot of feedback. Short answer (if you want to choose quickly) Do you...

The Gateron Jupiter Brown is a switch for people who want to feel feedback while typing, but do not want an extremely strong bump. This is a tactile switch with a more balanced keystroke than the Gateron Jupiter Banana. In simple terms: you feel a small clear point while pressing, but it is not overly heavy or aggressive. That makes it more accessible and calmer than a heavy tactile switch, while still giving you more feedback than a linear switch. Short answer (if you want to choose quickly) Do you want a tactile switch that gives more feedback than a...

The Gateron Jupiter Banana is a switch for people who want clearly more feedback than a normal Brown-style tactile switch. This switch has an early tactile bump, shorter total travel, and a double-stage spring, which makes it feel more direct and firmer. In simple terms: you feel quite early in the press that the key activates. After that, it returns quickly and steadily. That makes it controlled and satisfying, but also less neutral than a lighter tactile or a smooth linear. Short answer (if you want to choose quickly) Do you want a tactile switch with clear early feedback, more...

The Everfree Curry Linear Switch is a switch for people who want a smooth, balanced, and accessible linear switch. With an operating force of 50+10 gf, it is not extremely light, but also not heavy. That makes it feel like a safe middle ground for many people. In simple terms: this is not an extreme speed switch, not an ultra-light switch, and not a very heavy switch either. It is mainly meant as a normal, pleasant linear for daily typing and gaming. That makes it easy to get used to, but also a bit less exciting if you want a...

The Everfree Grayish Tactile Switch is a switch for people who want to clearly feel when a key activates. This is a heavy tactile switch with a strong bump, which gives much more feedback than a linear switch. In simple terms: this is not a switch that quietly disappears under your fingers. You really feel clear resistance, and after that the key continues downward. That makes it controlled and satisfying, but also less smooth and less effortless than a light linear. Short answer (if you want to choose quickly) Do you want a tactile switch with clear feedback, more control,...

The Gateron KS-9 Silent 2.0 White is a switch for people who want their keyboard to feel as quiet and light as possible. Within the KS-9 Silent 2.0 line, this is the lightest variant, and you notice that immediately as soon as you start typing. In simple terms: this is a switch that gives almost no resistance and makes hardly any noise. You touch a key and it goes down right away without effort. That makes it extremely comfortable, but also sensitive. Short answer (if you want to choose quickly) Do you want an ultra-light and silent linear switch where...

The Gateron KS-9 Silent 2.0 Black is a switch for people who want to make their keyboard as quiet as possible, while also wanting clearly more control and resistance than with lighter silent switches. Within the KS-9 Silent 2.0 line-up, this is the heaviest linear variant, and you notice that immediately while typing. In simple terms: this is a quiet switch for people who do not like ultra-light keys. You have to press more deliberately, so it feels less sensitive and less likely to trigger by accident. At the same time, it is still a silent switch, so do not...

The Gateron KS-9 Silent 2.0 Red is a switch for people who want to make their keyboard as quiet as possible, while still wanting a bit more balance than the very lightest silent switches. Because of the built-in dampening and the slightly heavier press compared to Silent White, it feels calmer and more controlled without losing its quiet character. In simple terms: this is a silent linear switch that is less easy to trigger by accident than the lightest silent options, while still feeling soft and smooth. That makes it a more logical middle ground for many people: quiet, friendly,...
