Frequently asked questions

What do the Gateron G Pro 3.0 Black Linear Switches feel like?

Linear, so the keypress travels straight down with no bump and no click. It is the quietest of the three switch types and the usual choice for gaming, because there is nothing interrupting the stroke.

That makes the Gateron G Pro 3.0 Black Linear Switches a linear switch - if you have used a linear switch before and liked it, these will feel familiar.

They actuate at 60g, which counts as a medium-weight switch.

As a rough guide, under 45g is light and fast but easier to press by accident, 45-60g suits most people for both typing and gaming, and above 60g is deliberate and firm - popular with heavy-handed typists who want to avoid mistakes.

The key registers after 2.6mm and bottoms out at 4mm of total travel.

A shorter actuation distance means the keypress is picked up sooner, which is why speed switches shorten it for gaming. A longer one gives you more room to rest your fingers on the keys without triggering them.

Yes - these come lubed from the factory, so they feel smooth straight out of the packet.

Factory lube reduces the slight scratchiness of a bare switch and quietens spring ping. You can still hand-lube them if you want the absolute smoothest result, but for most people they are ready to fit as they are.

These are 3-pin (plate mount) switches.

It has three pins: two metal contact pins and one central plastic post. 3-pin switches drop straight into plate-mounted and hot-swap keyboards. If your board is PCB-mounted and expects 5-pin switches, a 3-pin switch still works - it just relies on the plate for stability.

This listing is sold in packs of 1, 5, 10, 35, 70, 90, 110.

As a guide: a 60% keyboard needs about 61-68 switches, a TKL about 87, and a full-size board about 104. It is worth ordering a few spare in case one is faulty or you lose one during the build. If you only want to try the feel before committing, buy a single switch first.
