Frequently asked
Does the Gateron Baby Kangaroo need lubing?
No. It ships factory lubed and feels clean out of the box. Hand-lubing is optional and mainly worth it if you want to quiet the spring or smooth a touch of leaf ping on a few units.
How is the Baby Kangaroo different from the original Kangaroo?
The Baby is the lighter, gentler take — a rounded mid-height bump and a 59g actuation instead of the original's sharper, heavier tactility. It is the more daily-driver-friendly of the two.
Is 59g good for typing or gaming?
59g is a comfortable middle weight. It is firm enough to give the tactile bump real presence for typing without fatiguing on long sessions, and the shorter 3.4mm travel keeps it responsive for gaming.
