Frequently asked
What kind of click does the Speed Gold use?
It uses Kailh's click-bar mechanism, which produces a sharp click on both the downstroke and the upstroke. It is a tighter, crisper click than the older click-jacket design.
Is it loud?
Yes. Like all click-bar switches it is intentionally loud and bright, so it is best kept away from shared offices and open calls.
What makes it a Speed switch?
The short 1.4mm pre-travel means the click and actuation arrive early in the keystroke, giving a faster response than a standard-travel clicky.
