Gateron Quinn Tactile Switch

This refers to the switch's tactile bump occurring very early in the keypress. You will feel a distinct, crisp resistance almost immediately after you start pressing the key, providing a snappy and responsive sensation.

These are 5-pin MX-style switches, which are compatible with most modern hot-swappable keyboards. If your keyboard only supports 3-pin switches, you can easily clip off the two extra plastic guide pins to make them fit.

No, the Gateron Quinn switches come pre-lubricated from the factory. They are designed to provide a smooth, consistent feel right out of the box without requiring additional manual lubrication.

The longer, double-stage spring provides a faster, more aggressive return after each keystroke. It creates a more consistent resistance throughout the press, which contributes to the switch's signature snappy and lively typing feel.

Yes, these switches are backlight compatible. The housing is designed to allow light to pass through, making them a great choice if you want to showcase your keyboard's RGB lighting effects.

POM (polyoxymethylene) is a high-performance plastic known for its low friction and high durability. Using it for the stem ensures the switch remains smooth over millions of keystrokes while reducing the likelihood of wear and scratchiness.
