Frequently asked
How heavy is the Gateron Green Apple?
It's a heavy tactile switch, actuating at roughly 63g with a firm bump up top. If you're coming from lighter 45-55g tactiles it will feel noticeably more deliberate.
What gives the Green Apple its distinctive sound?
The full POM construction — POM top housing, bottom housing and stem. POM-on-POM tends to produce a deeper, rounder, clackier signature than the brighter nylon or polycarbonate housings used in most switches.
Does the Gateron Green Apple come pre-lubed?
Yes, it ships factory lubed, so it's usable stock. A light hand-lube and a film can tighten things up further, but it isn't required.
