Frequently asked

Is the Gateron Lunar Probe 45g good for gaming and fast typing?

Yes. At 45g actuation with a short 1.80mm pre-travel and a light, smooth linear stroke, it reacts quickly and stays comfortable through long sessions, which suits both gaming and high-speed typing.

Does the Lunar Probe 45g need lubing out of the box?

Not really. It ships factory-lubed and feels smooth stock. A hand lube only adds marginal polish, so most builders can run it as-is.

What does the Lunar Probe 45g sound like?

The polycarbonate top over a Nylon PA66 bottom gives a fuller, slightly deeper linear thock rather than a sharp clack, helped by the factory lube.
