Gateron SILLYWORKS X TYPE L LINEAR EDITION

The Gateron SILLYWORKS X TYPE L LINEAR EDITION is a tribute to the origins of mechanical switches, specifically revisiting the renowned Gateron KS-3 MX black switches that made their debut nearly a decade ago. This innovative product is crafted with precision and attention to detail, offering a unique typing experience for enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Design and Engineering

The foundation of this keyboard lies in the classic KS-3 designs, with the production of the SLAY switches utilizing an advanced 8-point injection molding technique. This sophisticated method, although more costly, significantly enhances the precision and quality of the switches. The SLAY switch stem pole has been modified to create a distinctive 4.0mm full travel switch, providing a unique stem pole bottom-out experience. The aim is to deliver a clear and concentrated sensation upon bottoming out, setting it apart from other switches.

Lubrication and Smoothness

A noteworthy feature of the SLAY switches is the conservative application of factory lube. This marks the first instance of Gateron using a grease-based lubricant in conjunction with automatic lubing production lines. This careful lubrication process ensures smooth operation and enhances the overall typing experience.
