Gateron Smoothie

The Gateron Smoothie is a linear switch built with a full POM housing and POM stem, a material combination Gateron uses to shape both its feel and its sound. It arrives factory-lubed, so reviewers note it feels smooth out of the box without further work.

It is a light linear that presses easily and gives little resistance. Its long-pole stem produces a fuller, more audible bottom-out than many linears in its class, giving the switch a lively rather than muted character.
