Gateron switches are a popular choice among mechanical keyboard enthusiasts due to their smooth and consistent actuation. These switches come in a variety of styles and materials, each with its own unique characteristics. Here are some of the benefits and differences of Gateron switches to consider when shopping for your next keyboard.
One of the biggest benefits of Gateron switches is their smooth and consistent feel. These switches are known for their smooth actuation and minimal wobble, which can help improve accuracy and comfort when typing or gaming. They are also durable, with a lifespan of up to 50 million actuations, making them a long-lasting choice for heavy users.
Gateron switches come in a variety of styles, each with its own characteristics. For example, linear switches are smooth and consistent, with no tactile feedback or audible click. They are a popular choice for gamers due to their fast actuation and quiet operation. Tactile switches, on the other hand, offer a slight bump or resistance when activated, which can help you feel where your keys are without looking. These switches are a good choice for touch typists or those who prefer a more tactile feel.
Gateron switches are also available in a range of materials, each with its own unique properties. For instance, Gateron Clear switches are made from a special transparent material that allows the user to see the internal components of the switch. Gateron Black Inks are made from a smooth and lightweight material that allows for fast actuation, making them a popular choice for gaming.
In addition to the materials and styles of Gateron switches, you’ll also want to consider the actuation force, or the amount of force required to activate the switch. This can range from light (around 35 grams) to heavy (around 60 grams). Light switches are easier to press and may be a good choice for users who type or game for long periods of time, while heavy switches offer a firmer feel and may be preferred by those who need more precision.
No matter what your needs, there’s a Gateron switch out there that’s right for you. Whether you’re looking for a linear switch for gaming or a tactile switch for typing, there are plenty of options available to meet your needs. So next time you’re in the market for a new keyboard, consider the benefits and differences of the various styles and materials of Gateron switches to find the perfect match for you.

IJKTGateron MX Switch Keyboard Dedicated Shaft Body Off Black red Brown Blue Green Yellow 5pins Suitable for GK61GK64 GH60 Yellow Shaft
Gateron MX Switch Keyboard Dedicated Shaft Body Off Black red Brown Blue Green Yellow 5pins Suitable for GK61GK64 GH60 Yellow Shaft
- 5-pin shaft: 2 metal pins, a center column and 2 fixed columns, suitable for keyboards without steel plates. Such as: Cherry G80-300/3494,3800 and customized mechanical keyboard without positioning plate
- Shafts of different colors meet the needs of different hand feelings. Approximately 50 million laboratory tests for durability, more stable and reliable quality
- Gateron, whose Chinese name is Jiadalon, is one of the newly-made domestic shafts. Because of the inexhaustible relationship with A, it is also called A axis. It is characterized by a dust-proof design, which some players call a dust-proof shaft. Because Gateron starts with G, I will call it G axis, and the opposite Cherry axis is C axis
- The G-axis contacts use a gold layer twice the thickness of the C-axis at any cost. The contacts are pressed with gold alloy instead of low-cost gold-plated contacts. The G-axis contacts are one circle larger than the C-axis, and the gold layer covers The entire contact. The shrapnel is also doubled thicker, which solves the old problem of easy bending and breaking of the C-axis pins
- The G-axis has a very obvious feature of enlarged shaft core. Enlarging the shaft core makes the gap between the shaft core and the shaft cover smaller, the force is more balanced, and the keys are more stable.
