Frequently asked
Do the Gateron Smoothie switches need lubing?
No. They ship factory-lubed and feel smooth straight from the bag, so hand-lubing offers little practical gain for most builders.
How heavy is the Gateron Smoothie?
It is a light linear with roughly a 40g actuation force on a 22mm extended spring, making it well suited to fast, low-effort typing.
Why does the Gateron Smoothie sound deeper than other linears?
The full-POM housing and stem plus a shortened 3.6mm travel with a poled bottom-out produce a fuller, thockier note than a standard MX linear.
