Frequently asked
How does the Gateron Milky Brown compare to a Cherry MX Brown?
The tactile bump shape is effectively the same gentle, rounded Brown profile, but Gateron pairs it with a slightly lighter spring — around 5g softer — and a flatter force curve toward the bottom. The trade-off is a thinner, more metallic upstroke and a bit more housing resonance.
Are these switches factory lubed?
Yes, they ship lightly factory lubed, which takes the worst of the scratch off but leaves clear room for a hand lube job.
Are the Gateron Milky Brown stems hot-swap friendly?
They work in hot-swap sockets, but the pins are on the soft side and can bend during insertion, so seat them straight and inspect before pressing.
