Frequently asked
Is the Gateron KS-33 Bamboo a clicky switch?
No. Despite some listings labeling it clicky, the KS-33 Bamboo is a smooth linear with no tactile bump or click leaf. The travel is uninterrupted from top to bottom-out.
Does the KS-33 Bamboo need lubing?
It arrives factory lubed and feels good out of the box. Hand-lubing a low-profile switch this small is fiddly and offers little upside, so most builders should leave it stock.
Will the KS-33 fit a standard low-profile board?
It uses Gateron's KS-33 low-profile plate-mount footprint, so it fits boards and keycaps built for that standard rather than full-height MX hardware.
