Gamakay switches vs Gateron switches What's different

Last month, we launched the gamakay switches, but it seems that did not arouse much customer interest. So we decide to send some samples, and this month, we will receive some feedback. (Thanks for Tecnolocura ) We are trying to compare Gamakay switches and gateron switches from the input. From this review, we hope we can help you decide whether you buy the gamakay or not.

Gamakay phoenix, bumblebee, and crystal are perfect for those linear switch lovers. They are smooth, silent, vertical pressing sensations with a lightly clicky feel. No matter for working, typing, and even gaming.

The actuation force of Gamakay crystal is 55g. The travel distance is 4mm; the bumblebee one has the same tranvel distance and actuation force as the crystal one, however the min trigger force is differente. The crystal switch cost you less force to finish one click, while the phonenix get the travel distance of 3.3mm, pre travel 2.00±0.6mm, end force is 45g. perhaps,the phoenix switch is best for typing, we can see the resutl in the end of the review.

These 3 gamakay switches are a little bit different with that standard Gateron Switches: Gateron red,  blue and brown.

People perhaps would choose the linear switch when choosing a mechanical keyboard because there were no more options before. They have already considered the linear regulators are regards as smooth and light. The touch sense on the Spacebar and other bigger keys isis not extraordinary. The Gamakay switches are recommended for those unfamiliar with the too-light, too-soft touch feeling and who need more robust feedback.

As we have mentioned above Parameter table. There are differences in the feel, but not too much. You can feel it makes the keycaps follow your fingers more closely.

Gateron switches

Among the gamakay switches, the phoenix one is similar with the gateron white one. But from the table we can see, you can use less force on the gamakay switches to get quilickly response from every click. There are ± 10-15 differences among the switches at the actuation sector.

From the video we can hear, the phoenix is the most quiet one.
