Keygeek Y3 48g
My review of the Keygeek Y3 48g: a factory-lubed all-nylon linear with an M3 stem, a deep, thocky sound and a smooth medium-weight press straight from the bag.

Frequently asked
How does the Y3 sound?
Deep and thocky. The all-nylon PA66 housing damps the high frequencies, so the bottom-out is full and rounded rather than sharp.
How heavy is the Keygeek Y3 48g?
It actuates at 48g and bottoms out at 53g — a comfortable medium weight with a smooth, firm landing.
Is it good stock or does it need lube?
It is factory-lubed and smooth straight from the bag. Most people run it as is; a light spring lube is the only worthwhile extra.
