Frequently asked
How light is the Gateron Clear 35g really?
Very light. At 35g actuation it sits well below the ~45-50g comfort zone of most stock linears, which makes it one of the easiest switches to bottom out without effort. If you've only used standard reds or yellows, expect a notable adjustment period before your accuracy catches up.
Is the Gateron Clear 35g good for typing or just gaming?
It can do both, but the low weight favours fast, light-fingered typists and rapid actuation in games. Heavy-handed typists tend to trigger accidental keypresses on a switch this light, so it rewards a soft, deliberate touch.
Does the Gateron Clear 35g need lubing?
It's usable stock but benefits from a light hand-lube. A thin coat of 205g0 on the rails and a touch of 105 on the springs cleans up the minor scratch and tames spring ping, letting the smooth polycarbonate-and-nylon housing shine.
