The main Gateron switch lineup consists of the typical switches: Red, Blue, Brown, etc.Īll of the switches in this classification are considered “clones” since they mirror the design of the Cherry MX switch and use the same descriptive names where the colors represent the actuation type and spring force. Gateron has designed several additional switches such as their own silent switches, milk switches, ink switches, and low-profile switches. The main lineup is based on the Cherry MX switches, while the rest are more adventurous and interesting.

#BLACK INK SWITCHES FULL#
We’ll go over a full in-depth guide of Gateron’s entire switch lineup. While Gateron hasn’t had a reputation for being a premium switch, they offer the most budget-friendly options and are pound-for-pound one of the best switch options out there.
My Sakurios, after lubing, are super quiet so if you're looking for that bassy note, best stick with the inks.Looking for the perfect switch for your keyboard? I prefer a lighter switch so I would personally opt for Yellow Inks if I was going for the sound or Roselios if I was going for quiet. My biggest problem with the black inks is the heavier spring. Both are awesome vehicles with awesome performance but are on opposite spectrums when it comes to their 'exhaust' note. Just to make sure I'm on the same page, you intended to post black ink linear vs silent linear roselio, right? To me the analogy would be comparing a Tesla vs a Ferrari. GMK keycaps is what most consider to be the ultra premium keycap but the doubleshot ABS of GMK is significantly higher pitched than my doubleshot PBT sets. For the deepest, bassiest, thocciest sound, you'd want to go with a profile like SA.
#BLACK INK SWITCHES PC#
For plates, brass is typically the highest pitch and pc or carbon fiber being lower pitch. Polycarbonate cases have a deeper, bassier sound than aluminum. As Darthbaggins stated, it will be board dependent for sure.
