Frequently asked

Is the Gateron CJ Light Blue a linear or tactile switch?

It's a linear switch, with a smooth, bump-free downstroke and a light 50g spring. There's no tactile bump or click anywhere in the travel.

Does the Gateron CJ Light Blue come pre-lubed?

Yes. It ships factory-lubed, so it feels broken-in straight out of the bag. A light hand-lube on the springs can quiet residual ping, but most builders can drop these in stock.

What housing and stem material does the CJ use?

A proprietary INK-blend top housing paired with a POM bottom housing and POM stem. That combination gives the CJ its characteristic muted, deeper sound signature compared with all-nylon switches.
