Frequently asked
How heavy is the Gateron Jupiter Red 45g?
It actuates at roughly 45g with about 2mm of pre-travel and 4mm of total travel, putting it firmly in light-linear territory that suits long typing sessions and fast-paced gaming alike.
Does the Jupiter Red need lube out of the box?
No. The Jupiter Red ships factory-lubed and feels smooth stock. You can hand-lube it for an even glassier glide, but it isn't necessary for most builds.
What housing and stem materials does it use?
A polycarbonate top housing over a nylon bottom housing, paired with a POM stem. That combination leans toward a fuller, slightly deeper sound rather than a sharp, clacky one.
