Everything You Need to Know About Linear Switches

Linear switches are the go-to choice for a smooth, consistent typing experience without any tactile bump or audible click. They are favored by gamers for their rapid actuation and by typists who prefer a quiet and fluid keystroke. This guide answers common questions about linear switches to help you select the best option for your mechanical keyboard.

What Defines a Linear Switch?

A linear switch is characterized by its smooth, uninterrupted travel from the moment you press the key until it bottoms out. Unlike tactile or clicky switches, there is no bump or click to indicate actuation. This results in a consistent feel, making them ideal for fast typing and gaming where quick, repeated keystrokes are necessary.

Which Linear Switch is Right for Me?

Choosing the right linear switch depends on your preference for actuation force. Lighter switches, like the popular Cherry MX Red (around 45g), allow for rapid, effortless key presses. Heavier options, such as Cherry MX Black (around 60g), provide more resistance, which can help prevent accidental keystrokes and may be preferred by heavy-handed typists. Experimenting with different weights is the best way to find your perfect fit for your custom keyboard.

How Do Switch Materials Affect Performance?

The materials of the switch housing (top and bottom) and stem play a significant role in its sound and feel. For example, switches with POM stems are known for their low friction and smooth travel. Nylon housings often produce a deeper sound profile, while polycarbonate housings can be brighter. The choice of materials impacts both the acoustics and the typing feel of your mechanical keyboard.

Are Linear Switches Good for Gaming?

Yes, linear switches are often considered the best for gaming. Their smooth and consistent actuation allows for rapid and precise key presses without any tactile interference. This can be a significant advantage in fast-paced games that require quick reactions and repeated inputs. Many professional gamers prefer linear switches for their reliability and speed.

Can I Lube my Linear Switches?

Absolutely. Lubing linear switches is a popular modification within the custom keyboard community. Applying a thin layer of lubricant to the switch's stem and housing reduces friction, resulting in an even smoother keystroke and a more pleasing, deeper sound. While many switches come factory-lubed, hand-lubing can provide a superior and more consistent result.
