Gateron Mini i Switch

4.4

Best refined tactile experience for budget conscious enthusiasts.

These tactile switches deliver a refined, top-weighted bump that feels deliberate without being fatiguing. They are a perfect choice for those who want a distinct, pre-lubed typing experience, though the 18-count pack size makes them better suited for targeted customization rather than outfitting an entire full-sized board.
