thockyFrequently asked
Where is the tactile bump on the Gateron Quinn?
The bump sits near the very top of the keypress, so you feel the tactile event almost immediately as the key starts to move. It's a rounded, medium-strength bump rather than an aggressive D-shaped one.
What makes the Quinn's sound different from other tactiles?
The full-nylon top and bottom housing is the headline. Nylon dampens the stroke into a deeper, more muted tone than the brighter polycarbonate or mixed housings common on other tactile switches.
Does the Gateron Quinn need lubing?
It arrives factory-lubed and is perfectly usable stock. A light hand-lube on the rails and springs smooths out any minor scratch and tightens the sound, but it's a refinement rather than a necessity.
