Gateron G Pro Brown tactile · 55g actuation The Gateron G Pro Brown is a gentle 55g pre-lubed tactile that gives prebuilt keyboards a soft, unobtrusive bump suitable for offices. Gateron G Pro Yellow linear · 50g actuation The Gateron G Pro Yellow brings the beloved 50g Gateron Yellow weighting to the pre-lubed G Pro line, making it an easy budget linear pick for hot-swap boards. Cherry MX Black linear · 60g actuation The Cherry MX Black is the original 1984 MX linear, a firm 60g switch whose vintage "broken-in" examples are still hunted by enthusiasts for frankenswitch builds. Cherry MX Brown tactile · 55g actuation The Cherry MX Brown is the classic light 55g tactile that defined the "quiet office switch" category, with a subtle bump that enthusiasts either rely on or mod away. Cherry MX Red linear · 45g actuation The Cherry MX Red is the industry's reference 45g linear, the default gaming switch in countless prebuilt keyboards since its 2008 reintroduction. Cherry MX Blue clicky · 60g actuation The Cherry MX Blue is the archetypal click-jacket clicky switch, actuating at 60g with the sharp, jingly click that most people picture when they hear "mechanical keyboard". Cherry MX Clear tactile · 65g actuation The Cherry MX Clear is a stiff 65g tactile with a larger bump than the MX Brown, best known today as the donor stem for the community's Ergo Clear spring-swap mod. Cherry MX Speed Silver linear · 45g actuation The Cherry MX Speed Silver is Cherry's fast-actuation 45g linear, cutting pre-travel to 1.2mm and total travel to 3.4mm for quicker inputs in games. Cherry MX Silent Red silent-linear · 45g actuation The Cherry MX Silent Red is a 45g linear with integrated rubber dampeners on the stem that cut both bottom-out and upstroke noise, making it the standard quiet-office pick.
