Frequently asked
Are Gateron Beer 50g switches lubed from the factory?
Yes. They ship factory lubed, so they feel reasonably smooth out of the bag. A light hand lube and films can still sharpen them up, but most people can run them stock.
How tactile are the Gateron Beer 50g switches?
They sit on the gentle end of the tactile spectrum. The bump is rounded and soft rather than sharp or aggressive, closer to a "light tactile" feel than a snappy bump like Holy Pandas.
What stem and housing do they use?
A POM stem in a fully polycarbonate top and bottom housing, paired with a 22mm double-stage gold-plated spring. That combination leans toward a slightly deeper, muted sound.
