Frequently asked

Is the Gateron Cap Anniversary 50g already lubed?

Yes. It ships factory lubed, which is a big part of why it feels so smooth out of the box. Most people will be happy running it stock with no hand lubing required.

What housing and stem materials does it use?

It pairs a translucent polycarbonate top housing with a nylon bottom and a POM stem. The PC top gives a slightly clacky, brighter note while the nylon bottom keeps the overall sound muted and rounded.

How heavy is the Gateron Cap Anniversary 50g?

It actuates at 50g and bottoms out around 65g, putting it in the light-to-medium range — easy enough for long typing sessions but with enough spring to avoid feeling mushy.
