Gateron G Pro 2.0 Switches Set

These gateron red pre-lubed switches are great for building your own mechanical keyboard or for just swapping out the switches for a different type or to upgrade them. I had a store-bought mechanical keyboard (not custom) but it had removable switches so I replaced them with these red switches and really like the sound (quiet) and the feel compared to the brown switches that were on my keyboard previously.

I'm a sucker for anything clicky. These come pre lubed and ready to go. Any 3 pin board should take them without issue. Caps go on and you're set

Recommended.

They are very similar to red switches except with a higher actuation force. I'm using them in my main board now and they feel smooth to type on and come pre lubed. They sound great too ! I will try to include a video later.

The preapplied lube was very inconsistent, some switches were too light while some had too heavy lubing. After cleaning off the factory lube and applied 205g0, the switches were very creamy and smooth!

We just hot-swapped the Glacier Gateron Pro 2 Brown switches in place of zelios purple 67g switches. The activation point and tactile bump feel very similar considering these are only 55g!

These come pre-lubed which is way easier than having to open and lube every switch and the feel is clean and smooth.

For the price point, these are remarkable switches. Gateron has always been a top-tier manufacturer, even when manufacturing custom switches for other companies. Finally they have their own version of switches at this level.

The switches came with a keycap and switch removal tool which was helpful, although we already had a better switch removal tool that we used. The one included will work for anyone that doesn't have one, and the cap remover worked fine.

We tested all of the switches and found no issues at all.

I'm really impressed with these. Definitely a worthwhile set for any keyboard enthusiast.

I ordered the White switches. Replacing Outemu reds and these absolutely feel better. They're smoother, less resistant (which is a personal preference more than anything) and sound fantastic.

They have a window for RGB lihts and show through just as well as the stock switches that came with my keyboard - basically indistinguishable in that respect.

This set that comes from Glacier includes a keycap/keyswitch puller and the switches come in a bag. All of my switches came with the pins straight. I didn't have to align any of them in order to install them.

I love linear switches. I have been using Cherry MX Speed/Silver for the last 6 years or so. Since then I have also tried the Kailh Silver switches and now these. The Gateron G Pro version 2.0 are simply amazing. They feel extremely smooth, much smoother than both my Kailh and Cherry silvers. The silvers and Kailh have a sort of grind when they're brand new that lubing helps but never fully removes. The MX Silver's in my Corsair k70 have smoothed out quite a bit over the years and still they don't come anywhere near as smooth as the Gateron Pro's right out of the box. I believe these are lubed from the factory. I feel no need to go in and take the switch apart. They feel that good.

The sound is a bit deeper than the clacky sound of the eMX Silver's. This makes a more pleasant typing experience for me. The only key I kept as an MX is the space bar. For some reason on my K70 there is stabilizer rattle when I use the Gateron for the space bar. It totally goes away when I substituted the MX Silver leading me to believe it could be just a touch taller. I could go back and redo my stabilizers but I'm feeling lazy and there's nothing wrong with the MX in that slot.

Edit* I used dielectric grease on the stabilizer bars and now everything sounds great with all keys as gateron! Don't be lazy like me Do it right and so you only have to do it once!

The Actuation is stellar on these. When compared to my MX Silver and Kailh Silver these actuate just a hair lower. This makes it just as good for gaming as it does for typing. I really love the actuation point on these. I am so used to the MX Silver switches that I don't make many mistakes when typing on them. However the Kailh Silver switches sometimes actuate just resting my fingers on them. They are far too sensitive. The fast actuation with the slightly lower bottoming out make these extremely comfortable to type.
In gaming I feel like these are every bit as good as the Cherry MX Silver switches. They actuate near the top of the keypress but not so high that you'll accidentally move your character in a direction when you meant to stay still.

I can't sing the praises of this keyswitch enough. They are so consistent. I have a full sized keyboard and all the keys feel smooth and stable. The keycaps barely have any wobble which makes the whole keyboard feel that much more solid. I think I have found my new favorite keyswitch. Glacier has great prices so I will definitely get the switches from them in the future.
