Frequently asked

How strong is the Saru V2 bump?

Light. It is a full tactility with a gentle bump, so the feedback is present through the whole press but soft enough that it almost reads as a linear with texture.

Does it improve after break-in?

Yes. The factory lube redistributes with use, and after a break-in period it settles into a smoother, more even light-and-full tactile feel.

Who is this switch for?

People who want a hint of tactility without a strong, snappy bump — including linear fans curious about tactiles. It is not for anyone chasing aggressive feedback.
