Designed by C☾qualz and manufactured by JWK.Easily reusable and perfect for holding spare switches. Packaged in a new hard plastic case with a sticker snap lid.You can lube these switches on top of this. Pre-lubed in factory – very light application.Another staple in engineering thermoplastics, known for low-friction capabilities and outstanding stability. Applications for this type of plastic spans from joint replacement to marine structures for ship mooring. This material is used in places where the plastic is required to be extremely tough with high abrasion and wear resistance. Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene housing.These have a smooth keypress with no tactile bump. Linear switch with a 62 or 67g spring.Please note 10 unit switches are not offered in plastic cases and are sold in bags. Sold in units of 10, 70, 90 and 110 switches.As for comparison across the switches, the KTT Strawberry and SP Star Meteor White are more clacky and higher pitched switches compared to Oil King, Tangerine, and Banana Split.The smoothest linear in the game, here's our Tangerine switches with a linear POM stem, a 67g spring (Dark variant) or 62g spring (Light variant), and a UHMWPE housing. The sound profit did not shift much.īased on the data, lubing and filming a switch deepens the sound profit on the switch. The L+F version has a peak at about 2.8 - 2.9 kilohertz. The peak of the non-lubed and filmed version is about 2.8 ish kilohertz. L+F has deepened the sound of the switch.įinally SP Star Meteor White. The peak is starting from 1.6 and ending at around 2.5 kilohertz. On the L+F version, the graph has shifted to the left. Lubed and Filmed C☾qualz X TKC Banana Splitįor KTT Strawberry, t he stock version has a sound frequency quite widespread, the peak is from 1.6 to 3.2 kilohertz. The sound profile didn’t shift significantly. The L+F version has around 2.4 ish kilohertz range. Regardless of the type of Gateron switch, you can rest assured that you will get a 50 million keystroke lifespan for each switch. The stock switch has a peak at around 2.5 kilohertz range. Gateron has dozens of switches available in its lineup including the standard Red, Blue, Brown, Green, Black, Yellow switches and their own unique Gateron Milk, Ink, Low-Profile, and Silent switch designs. Next, we have C☾qualz X TKC Banana Split. Once again, lubing and filming the Tangerine has shifted the pitch of the switch towards a lower frequency. The stock version has a peak at about 2.3 kilohertz, and the L+F version has a peak at 1.6 kilohertz. Next example below, we tested C☾qualz X TKC Tangerine (stock version vs L+F version).

By lubing and filming the oil king, the sound was deepened. On the L+F version, it’s close to 1.9 kilohertz. Therefore, whether you opt for the Gateron CJ or the TKC Tangerine, you can expect similar results in terms of the clacky sound profile. On the stock version, you can see the peak which is the highest point of the frequency on the x-axis is at about 2.2 kilohertz. It is more about where it is on the x-axis the peaks are.įirst example below, we tested the Gateron Oil King (stock version vs L+F version) to show you the impact of L+F. For testing switches, that would depend on how hard we press the switches, so pay less attention to the y-axis.

On the y-axis (vertical axis), it is amplitude which is how loud it is.

The further right it is the higher the frequency which is a higher pitch sound. On the x-axis (horizontal axis), the further left it is the lower the frequency which means it’s a deeper sound. The chart below is called the spectrum analyzer, which takes the frequency of the sounds and plots it on the x-axis and the amplitude of the sound on the y-axis. If you’d like to hear the sound of these switches, check out our YouTube video here. In this blog, we focus on frequency analysis. We also compared the sound of the frequency of these switches to help you visualize the difference between them. C3 Tangerine V2 (62g) - The new Tangerine V2 line still has pretty much unparalleled smoothness from their factory lubing process. We tested five popular linear switches (both stock and lubed + filmed) including Gateron Oil King, C☾qualz X TKC Tangerine, C☾qualz X TKC Banana Split, KTT Strawberry, and SP Star Meteor White. We are excited to share our latest switch comparison.
