Frequently asked
Are the Gateron CJ Dark Blue switches lubed from the factory?
No. The CJ Dark Blue ships unlubed. The materials are smooth enough to use straight out of the bag, but a light hand-lube pass meaningfully cleans up the stroke if you have the patience for it.
What does the "CJ" in Gateron CJ stand for?
CJ is short for China Joy, the gaming expo the line was originally tied to. It's a Gateron linear family built around an INK-blend top housing and a POM stem and bottom housing.
How heavy is the Gateron CJ Dark Blue?
It actuates at roughly 50g with a 2mm pre-travel and a 4mm total stroke, placing it in the medium-weight bracket — heavier than a Red but still easy for long typing sessions.
