25. huhtikuu 2025

Once upon a time, in the land of mechanical keyboards, there lived four switches with distinct personalities. They were the Gateron Phantom Switch Set, each with their own unique abilities and charm. Let's meet the colorful cast of characters: the Red, the Yellow, the Brown, and the Blue.

The Red Phantom: The Sprinter

With a stem as vibrant as a summer sunset, the Gateron Phantom Red switch is the sprinter of the group. It boasts an operation force of 45±15 gf, making it the lightest of the four, perfect for those who prefer a feather-light touch. Its pre-travel of 2.0±0.6 mm and total travel of up to 4.0 mm ensure it's always ready for action. This linear switch is pre-lubed and ready to roll, making it a top choice for both gaming and office warriors.

The Yellow Phantom: The Balanced Athlete

Dressed in a sunny hue, the Gateron Phantom Yellow switch is the balanced athlete of the set. It has a slightly higher operation force of 50±15 gf, providing a bit more resistance for those who like a bit of a challenge. Like its red sibling, it's pre-lubed and linear, with the same pre-travel and total travel specs, making it equally at home in the gaming arena or the office cubicle.

The Brown Phantom: The Steady Typist

Clad in a rich, earthy tone, the Gateron Phantom Brown switch is the steady typist of the group. With an operation force of 55±15 gf, it offers a tactile bump that's just right for those who enjoy the feel of a well-placed keystroke. This pre-lubed switch is designed for typists who appreciate the feedback of a tactile switch, making it perfect for long hours of typing without fatigue.

The Blue Phantom: The Clicky Diva

With a stem as bold as the ocean, the Gateron Phantom Blue switch is the clicky diva. It has an operation force of 60±15 gf and a slightly longer pre-travel of 2.3±0.6 mm, giving it a distinctive click that's music to the ears of gamers and typists alike. This switch is not pre-lubed, but its clicky nature and total travel of up to 4.0 mm make it a favorite for those who love the sound and feel of a classic mechanical switch.

The Gold Leaf of Durability

But wait, there's more! The Gateron Phantom Switch Set also features brand-new oxidation-resistant gold contacts, which are like the golden leaves that fall from the sky in this mechanical keyboard fantasy. These contacts offer better durability, improved oxidation resistance, and vulcanization resistance, extending the life of your keyboard switch like a well-tended garden.

Compatibility and LED support

These switches are not just about looks and feels; they're practical too. Compatible with any 5-Pin MX mechanical keyboard with SMD or Plug In-LED light, they're the Swiss Army knife of switches. Whether you need a switch for gaming, typing, or just to show off your keyboard's lighting, the Gateron Phantom Switch Set has you covered.

So, which switch will you choose for your next keyboard adventure? Will it be the sprinter Red, the balanced Yellow, the steady Brown, or the clicky Blue? Or perhaps you'll collect them all and rule the mechanical keyboard kingdom with a colorful court of switches at your fingertips.
