Know before you buy
The Gateron Weightlessness switches feature a mild, stepped tactile event. It provides a noticeable, satisfying bump that is distinct but not overly aggressive, making it comfortable for long typing sessions.
These are 5-pin PCB mount switches. While they are designed for 5-pin boards, they can easily be modified for 3-pin hotswap compatibility by clipping the two extra plastic legs if your keyboard requires it.
The double-stage spring provides a snappier, bouncier feel compared to standard springs. It ensures a more consistent and rapid keypress return, which helps with both typing speed and gaming responsiveness.
No, these switches come pre-lubed from the factory. Gateron’s advanced lubrication process ensures consistent smoothness right out of the box, so you can install them immediately without extra work.
Thanks to the combination of POM stems and Nylon housings, these switches produce a balanced sound profile. They offer a clean, stable acoustic signature that avoids the high-pitched clack often found in thinner plastic housings.
