Know before you buy
The 62g option offers a lighter, snappier feel that is generally more comfortable for long typing sessions. The 68g option provides more resistance, which many enthusiasts prefer for a more deliberate, substantial tactile experience.
Yes, these are 5-pin switches compatible with most modern hot-swappable mechanical keyboards. If your PCB only supports 3-pin switches, you can easily clip the two extra plastic legs off the bottom of the switch to make them fit.
These switches are famous for their 'thocky' sound profile, which is a deep, resonant acoustic signature rather than a high-pitched click or clack. They are non-silent, meaning they provide audible feedback that is satisfying without being disruptive.
Yes, the switches feature an MX-style base with a dedicated RGB slot. They are designed to accommodate both SMD LEDs mounted on the PCB and traditional thru-hole LEDs.
Gazzew switches are known for their high-quality factory tolerances and smooth operation right out of the box. While some enthusiasts choose to apply additional lubricant for personal preference, they are designed to perform exceptionally well without any extra modification.
