mutedFrequently asked
Is the Gateron POM Mint Smoothie a silent switch?
Yes. It uses dampening pads on the stem to soften both the downstroke and upstroke, making it a true silent linear rather than just a quiet one. It noticeably cuts bottom-out and return noise without the mushy floor that plagues some silents.
Does the Gateron POM Mint Smoothie need lubing?
It ships factory-lubed and feels smooth out of the box, so most people can run it stock. Hand-lubing the springs is the only tweak worth considering if you want to chase down a faint spring ping.
How heavy is the Gateron POM Mint Smoothie?
It actuates at roughly 45g with a single-stage spring and a 2.0mm pre-travel into a 4.0mm total travel, so it sits in the comfortable medium-light range for everyday typing and gaming.
