Linear switches are characterized by their smooth, continual travel when operated: They can be pressed unhindered, with no clicking noise and no haptic feedback as with tactile or "clicky" switches. They are therefore particularly interesting for gamers, but also for all users who prefer switches without click Aing noises.

Gateron PRO Red
The factory-lubed Gateron PRO Red switches are ideal for gaming thanks to their linear properties. With an operating force of 45 grams and a distance of 2 millimeters to the actuation point, they enable speedy action with no loss of the usual typing sensation. But they are also suitable for anyone who wants to forgo a perceptible feedback and loud clicking noises.

Compatible and Adaptable
All switches have three pins for a wide-ranging compatibility. They are also all compatible with commercially available keycaps. With 35 switches per package, about the right number of switches can be acquired for any keyboard size, and there will be a few more switches left over as replacements if ever needed.
