We’re happy to announce that we’re (finally) carrying Gateron switches! The first two that we’re carrying are the full milky-housing Gateron Yellows, and milky-top Gateron Blacks. These were chosen primarily for both their acoustics and smoothness. They’re very budget-friendly, and while they do have some scratch to them while stock, they take very well to lube and films, and Gateron Yellow springs are so well-loved that the switches are bought just to harvest them!

If we’re able to carry a proper upgrade to any of our product, we will, and we’ve made no exception when it comes to the newer Gateron Milky Yellow Pro Linear Switches! Gateron Milky Yellow switches have been a fan-favourite and a budget king for quite some time, with memories of harvesting springs out of the switches due to their unique feel. With improvements to the moulds, the new Gateron Milky Yellow Pro switches see less stem wobble and overall improved smoothness. This is assisted further by the same lubing process that Gateron switches with the KS-9 moulds use.

Some of you may have seen our Ashkeebs-branded switch bags included with your switch orders, and now they’re available for order en-masse! Designed by EURApsd, the Ashkeebs Switch Bags feature a 3.5mm plastic thickness for durability, as well as a gusseted bottom to allow the bags to stand by themselves easily. Both sides of the bags are carefully designed, with the front sporting our brand colours with frosted slivers to allow switches to peek through and a cute little switch in the corner, and the back with frosted plastic and our logo over top to clearly see everything stored inside!

There are two bundles available: 10 bags for $3 USD | $3.75 CAD, and 20 bags for $5 USD | $6.50 CAD!

TTC Bluish White switches are a real sleeper hit of a tactile switch! The name of the switches isn’t particularly creative, yet the specifications are where it really shines. The first notable feature is the dust-proof stem, as seen on Kangaroo Inks and Gateron Yellow Inks, which simply aims to reduce the chance of dust falling into the switch itself and affecting performance. The other two most notable features are the double-coiled spring and the muted bottom-out.

The double-coiled spring results in an extremely satisfying press and return combined with the light spring weight (42g actuation), the top-out being described as “punchy”. There’s also a small silicone plug at the bottom of the center tube of the bottom housing which allows for the bottom-out to be muted as the stem pole makes impact, but the top-out is louder by comparison as a result.

The switch shines whether it’s stock or lubed, and if you’re really interested in trying to create a new silent switch, try lubing the top housing and see how it turns out!

Beloved by the community, the Zaku linear switch has come to be one of the most sought after linear switches on the market today. To expand upon that line-up, Bolsa Supply has brought in the Zaku II tactile switch to fill in the void. The Zaku II colourway follows the more widely recognized, and appropriately named, Zaku II gunpla.

The switches boast medium tactility with a sharp, P-shaped tactile bump at the top of the keypress. The material components match the Zaku linear switch directly, with a longpole POM stem, PC top housing, and Nylon bottom housing with a 63.5g double-extension spring.

While not our first time working with Moyu.Studio, the Hera Linear Switches are the first switch of theirs we’re carrying, and they coincidentally line up extremely well with our brand colours! Each year they’ve released a switch based off of a Greek god, and this year focuses on Hera, the goddess of marriage, women, and family, as well as the Queen of the Gods, being mother to many of the Greek pantheon.

There are two variants of the Hera Linear Switches: a 48g spring and a 60g spring! Both are three-stage gold-plated springs for a super snappy return, even on the lighter springs. Their housing uses the new Durock/JWK housing mould and a custom blend of plastic materials to achieve the milky, translucent effect, and are accompanied by a super smooth LY longpole stem. This combo results in an incredibly smooth linear keypress that one would really have to try and purposefully seek out points of friction as even pressing the stem against the housing in multiple directions and pushing it down resulted in a smooth keypress with no issues. And more impressive yet, there’s no factory lube on them!

We’re no stranger to working with Createkeebs, and we’re stoked to carry their SOTC linear switches! These are a high-performing linear, boasting a great long pole feel and sound, taking advantage of POM housing’s favourable acoustics and the impressive smoothness of LY stems. SOTC linear switches make a fantastic stock switch option as they also benefit from JWK’s new factory lubing technique.

PangHu’s Giant switch series has seen numerous material changes to its components, and now they’ve changed manufacutrer from Gateron to Tecsee! The Giant V5 linear switches continue the frosty aesthetic with a matching light blue UHMWPE stem and Nylon bottom housing, and milky UHMWPE top – boasting a super smooth linear keypress all the way through. The UHMWPE top gives the Giant V5s a satisfying, bassy upstroke so all of the thock enthusiasts will enjoy these switches!

The Fruit switch line has another fantastic entry with the Kiwi tactile switch! At 67g stock spring weight measured at bottom-out, the stock press has a prominent “p-bump”, with the tactile bump towards the top with a more linear press afterwards. Kiwis have the same chemical composition in the housing and stem as the V2 Tangerines, so the stock smoothness with light factory oil lubing is a fine choice for beginners into the hobby, and as the factory lube isn’t over done, it’s very easy to clean and re-do.

The switches work great with all types of switch lubricant we have available, with our personal favourite being 205g0. While it may slightly affect the tactility when properly applied, the smoothness is phenomenal and you’ll still have a satisfying, poppy tactile switch.

Following the massive success of the Zaku linear switches, Bolsa Supply wanted to take things a little farther and have certainly done so! In collaboration with Tecsee, Bolsa has designed a proprietary stem unique to the Corsa switches, landing them in the light to medium tactility range inspired by MX Clears. Modern touches have been added, such as a longpole stem for that snappy feel and sound, and a lighter 60g slow spring to soften the tactility and still maintain a noticeable bump.

KNC Keys’ first Jacket switch has been remade! Red Jacket 2.0 Linear Switches feature UC Nylon housing, a long 13.5mm HPE stem for a super smooth stock feel and clean, clacky sound. Similar to the Green Jacket switches, Red Jacket 2.0 switches feature a double-stage spring, with a lighter actuation weight of 52g and bottom out weight of 60g and 3.5mm of travel distance.
