thockyFrequently asked
Do the Gateron Milky Black switches need lube?
No, they're perfectly usable stock thanks to the self-lubricating POM stem. A thin hand-lube with a 205g0-type grease will smooth out the last bit of slight scratch and deepen the sound, but it's a refinement, not a requirement.
How heavy are the Gateron Milky Black 60g switches?
They actuate at 60g, making them a medium-weight linear — heavier than a 45g Red but lighter than the classic 60g+ bottom-out springs in some premium linears. Most typists find them comfortable for long sessions.
What makes the "Milky" housing different?
The milky nylon top and bottom housing is translucent rather than clear, which dampens and rounds off the sound for a deeper, fuller acoustic compared to a polycarbonate-housed linear.
