Jerrzi Avocado Milk Linear Switches

The Jerrzi Avocado Milk is a linear mechanical keyboard switch designed for users who prefer a smooth, uninterrupted keystroke without tactile feedback. It suits typists and gamers looking for consistent keypresses with moderate actuation force. Its design aims to balance a comfortable typing experience with a solid sound profile, making it suitable for everyday use in various environments.

Feel & Sound

• Linear action provides a smooth keypress without tactile bumps, reducing finger fatigue during long sessions.
• The actuation force of about 42 g offers a moderate resistance, suitable for users who want neither too light nor too heavy keys.
• Housing materials contribute to a firm sound profile, avoiding overly loud or hollow noises.

Actuation Characteristics

• Total travel of approximately 3.7 mm delivers a standard keypress depth, balancing speed and feedback.
• Consistent force curve supports predictable key activation, beneficial for both typing accuracy and gaming responsiveness.
• Bottom-out feel is solid but not harsh, helping to prevent finger strain.

Build Quality

• Top housing made of polycarbonate (PC) and bottom housing of polyamide (PA) provide durability and a stable typing sound.
• Stem material is LY, a Lycra-like substance, which may affect smoothness and longevity but exact impact is unknown.
• 3-pin plate mount design ensures compatibility with most standard mechanical keyboards using plate-mounted switches.

Trade-offs

• Linear switches lack tactile feedback, which may be less suitable for users who rely on physical cues for typing accuracy.
• Stem wobble and factory lubrication quality are unknown, which could affect smoothness and noise initially.
• Not compatible with hot-swap PCBs requiring 5-pin switches without modification.

Use Cases

• Good for users seeking a smooth and consistent keystroke for gaming or typing without tactile interruptions.
• Less ideal for typists who prefer tactile or clicky feedback to confirm keypresses.
• Suitable for office environments where moderate sound levels and reliable performance are needed.
