Gateron Mini i Switch

The 50g actuation force is slightly heavier than the standard 45g found in many linear switches, providing a more deliberate and stable typing feel. Combined with the tactile bump, it offers enough resistance to prevent accidental keypresses while remaining comfortable for long typing sessions.

Yes, these are 5-pin PCB mount switches, which are compatible with most modern hot-swappable keyboards. If your keyboard only supports 3-pin switches, you can easily clip off the two extra plastic guide pins to make them fit.

The double-staged spring provides a more consistent resistance throughout the keypress and a snappier return compared to standard springs. This design helps the switch feel more responsive and contributes to the distinct, crisp tactile feedback.

No, these switches come factory-lubed, which provides a smooth, consistent feel and refined sound profile right out of the box. While you can add more lubricant if you prefer a specific sound signature, they are ready for immediate use.

Yes, the Gateron Mini i switches are designed to support SMD LEDs. The housing is compatible with most RGB-equipped PCBs, allowing the light to shine through effectively.

The Mini i features a moderate, balanced tactile bump that is noticeable but not aggressive. It is designed to provide clear feedback for productive typing without the fatigue often associated with heavier, sharp tactile switches.
