Frequently asked

Does the Gateron Strawberry Smoothie come pre-lubed?

Yes. These ship with factory lube, which is a big part of why they feel smooth straight out of the bag. Most people run them stock without issue.

What does the Strawberry Smoothie sound like?

It leans deep and buttery at a mild volume. The full-POM housing damps the higher frequencies, giving a rounded, marbley signature rather than a sharp clack.

How heavy is the Strawberry Smoothie switch?

It actuates around 40g with a dual-stage spring and a standard 2.0mm pre-travel, putting it in light-to-medium linear territory.
