Frequently asked

Do the Gateron Milky Yellow 50g switches need lube?

They arrive lightly factory-lubed and feel respectable out of the box. A hand-lube pass with a thin coat smooths the last traces of texture and deepens an already pleasant sound, but it is strictly optional rather than required.

How heavy is the Gateron Milky Yellow 50g?

It actuates and bottoms out around 50g, a medium-light weight that sits between the classic 45g Yellow and stiffer linears. It is comfortable for long typing and gaming sessions without feeling fatiguing.

What makes the Milky housing different?

The proprietary milky nylon top and bottom housing tightens tolerances and gives the switch a fuller, deeper acoustic signature than the standard transparent Gateron housings.
