GK GAMAKAY Pegasus Silent Tactile Keyboard Switch with LED Diffuser for Backlit Mechanical Keyboard 5 Pin Pre-lubed Switches for DIY (Pegasus V2 Switch-70Pcs)

I love the quality of these. The only silent switches that were more silent than these were the boba U4. But the difference in price makes these my favorite ones. It's not worth it to switch to Boba.

BE AWARE that this switch's case is not standard enough with maximum compatibility!!!

Nice linear switches, light bar doesn't block RGB LEDs. Pre-lubed very smooth. Not too light or too heavy

Just got my first mechanical keyboard recently and it came with linear switches. I quickly found out that I dislike how sensitive they were as it would actuate very early in the key stroke, like instantaneously, even brushing a key by accident would register it when typing. Got this as it comes pre-lubed unlike other brands and loved it. Nice mild tactile switch that doesn't require too much force to click but stops the unwanted activations. However, I am taking two stars away for two reasons: 1. A good amount of switches came damaged and with bent pins due to the box being thrown around during the delivery process. I have a 75% keyboard so I have less keys which meant I had a good amount extra, but if you have bigger sized keyboards I would expect having to carefully bend pins back or buy in larger quantities to negate the potential damaged switches. 2. They didn't fit into my keyboard at first due to small hinges on the outer shell preventing it from going down. My board takes 5 and 3 pin switches and is fully hot swappable, but after comparing them to the switches it came with I saw the two little hinges that wouldn't clear the top-most plastic gasket layer, which made me spend about an hour clipping them off and finally being able to be seated. My board is the Epomaker x Aula 75, so if you have the same board I would keep that in mind because if you clip them you're not gonna be able to return a damaged product.

Ich bin absolut zufrieden mit den GK GAMAKAY Pegasus V2 Tactile Silent-Schaltern. In meiner Keychron K10 Pro waren ursprünglich mechanische K-Pro Rot-Schalter verbaut, die mir zu linear und zu leichtgängig waren. Die Pegasus V2 Tactile Silent liefern ein deutlich besseres taktiles Feedback beim Tippen, sind sehr leise und bieten ein angenehmes, definiertes Druckgefühl. Die Beleuchtung wirkt klarer und intensiver als mit den originalen Schaltern – vermutlich durch den verbesserten LED-Diffuser, der das Licht besser durch die Tasten leitet und für ein gleichmäßigeres, helleres Leuchten sorgt. Klare Empfehlung, wenn man leisere, taktile Schalter mit starkem Feedback und optimierter Lichtdurchlässigkeit sucht!

I'm a die hard linear switch guy. I was introduced to Cherry MX black switches many many years ago, didn't like the arm fatigue due to the higher actuation force needed, and switched to Cherry MX reds instead. Never looked back. 45g and linear was my sweet spot. Buddy of mine got me onto Gateron Reds and they were much nicer than the Cherry MX reds. I've rocked Gateron Reds for a few years now, but had that itch to build another keyboard and didn't want to spend $40 for a set of switches. Enter the Gamakay Mercury. Super smooth typing experience and the five pin design made them very stable with no wobble. I've always avoided non-clear housings because any backlighting from your keyboard will get altered from the switch housing (white backlight with a red switch housing will cause your backlight to be red/pink). Even though these have a gold housing, the LED diffuser that is built into the switch eliminates that completely. Colors come through clean and clear. Coupled with their price, it drives a really hard bargain. I really enjoyed these switches and would highly recommend them!
