Frequently asked
Are the Gateron KS-3 Milky Red Pro switches good for RGB builds?
Yes. The milky bottom housing diffuses LED light evenly while the lighter top still lets it shine through, so per-key RGB looks soft and clean rather than harsh and pinpoint.
Do the KS-3 Milky Red Pro switches need lubing?
They are smooth enough to run stock and feel great straight from the box. A light hand-lube on the stem and springs will polish out the faint factory texture and quiet the spring, but it is optional.
How heavy are the Gateron KS-3 Milky Red Pro switches?
They are a light linear at 45g actuation with 2.0mm of pre-travel and 4.0mm of total travel, making them easy to glide across at speed.
