Gateron Ink Yellow V2
Manufacturer:
Gateron
Brand:
Gateron
Yellow Inks are the brothers of the Ink Blacks, the well loved linear switch in community. Smooth from stock due to the custom housing material and coated spring but especially smooth with a great sound after lubing.
Note. The first version of Gateron Yellow Ink switches had minor issues with the leafs being loose and prone to falling out when dismantled. As of November 2019 that issue has been resolved.
