Gateron Cap Golden Yellow

The Gateron Cap Golden Yellow is a linear switch from Gateron's Cap V2 series, named for the cap-like housing mold that defines the line. The V2 revision reworks that mold to reduce stem wobble versus the original Cap, while keeping the series' hollowed, vented stem and long spring. It uses a POM stem, ships factory-lubed, and the golden variant pairs a gold-plated spring with opaque yellow housings.

Sellers and reviewers position it as a smooth linear meant for use out of the box, with the light factory lubrication reducing the need for further tuning.
