Keygeek Cyan Linear Switches

This linear switch suits users who want a smooth, consistent keystroke with a relatively light actuation force. It fits typists and gamers preferring a low-resistance keypress without tactile bumps or clicks. Its moderate travel distance balances quick input with a satisfying keypress depth.

Feel & Sound

• Linear stem provides smooth keystrokes without tactile feedback or clicks.
• Polished housing reduces friction, resulting in quieter operation and less scratchiness.
• Bottom-out force is slightly higher than actuation, offering a noticeable but not harsh bottoming sensation.

Actuation Characteristics

• Light actuation force of 42g allows for faster key presses with less finger fatigue.
• Pre-travel of 2.0mm and total travel of 3.6mm provide a balanced key travel distance, suitable for both gaming and typing.
• Force variance of 2 cN indicates consistent feel across switches.

Build Quality

• Polycarbonate top housing and PA6 bottom housing contribute to durability and sound profile.
• POM stem material is known for smoothness and reduced friction.
• 20mm spring length supports stable keypress force and durability.

Trade-offs

• Linear design may feel less engaging for users who prefer tactile or clicky feedback.
• Unknown factory lubrication quality, so additional lubing might be needed to optimize smoothness.
• Moderate bottom-out force may cause slight finger fatigue during extended heavy typing sessions.
