Frequently asked

How is the Milky Yellow Pro different from a standard Gateron Yellow?

The Pro uses revised KS-3 molds that tighten stem wobble and borrows the smoother factory lubing process from Gateron's KS-9 line, while keeping the familiar milky housing and spring. The result is a noticeably more refined version of the classic budget linear.

Do the Milky Yellow Pro switches need lubing out of the box?

No. They arrive factory pre-lubed and feel good as-is. A hand lube pass and switch films can still sharpen the sound and shave off any residual scratch, but it's strictly optional for this price tier.

What actuation force are the Milky Yellow Pro switches?

They are a 50g linear with 2.0mm of pre-travel and 4.0mm total travel, placing them in the medium-light range that suits both typing and gaming.
