Linear switches
Linear 132 in the database
Linear switches travel straight down with no bump, click, or tactile event. The keystroke is perfectly smooth from rest to bottom-out. This makes them the default choice for gaming, where fast double-taps and rapid key repeats matter more than physical feedback.
Best for: Gaming, fast typing, and anyone who prefers a smooth, unobstructed keystroke.
Actuation across these switches: 35–67g. Typical price: $0.12–$1.10 per switch.
