Frequently asked

Is the Gateron Mini I 50g a strong tactile switch?

No. It carries a light, rounded bump rather than a sharp one, which makes it a comfortable stepping stone for linear fans who want a hint of feedback without the aggressive tactility of switches like the Boba U4T.

Does the Gateron Mini I 50g come pre-lubed?

Yes. It ships factory lubed, so it feels smooth out of the box and rarely needs hand lubing before use.

What is the actuation force of the Gateron Mini I 50g?

It actuates at roughly 50g, with a short 1.40mm pre-travel and 3.40mm of total travel — a medium-light weighting that suits long typing sessions.
