Frequently asked
Are the Gateron Zero Degree 0 switches a full silent linear?
Yes. They use mute pads on both the top and bottom housings to dampen the up-stroke and down-stroke, making them a true silent linear rather than a standard linear with a softened bottom-out.
Do the Zero Degree 0 switches need lubing?
No. They ship factory-lubed and feel consistent out of the box, so most builders can drop them in as-is. Hand-lubing offers only marginal gains.
What makes the dual-rail stem different?
The dual-rail design adds a second contact track inside the housing to keep the stem aligned through travel, which trims wobble and helps the keypress feel more controlled than a typical single-rail linear.
