Gateron Milky Yellow Pro Switches Pre-lubed 5 Pin Linear Keyboard Switches for MX Mechanical Keyboard (90 Pcs, Yellow)

I have these in 2 of my keyboards. My 75% with XDAs has a nice deep sound, my 67% also with XDAs has a more clicky sound. Both better than original stock. Having used tactile switches for the longest time, moving to a linear switch was an interesting change but the higher operating force sort of makes up (at least for me) for the missing tactile bump. I've bought these twice now, both supposedly 110 pieces. I received 105 in the first batch and 106 in the second. I'm not sure who has the wrong numbers (Amazon or the seller) but one of them needs to update something. Also my first batch were delivered in a plastic zip lock bag, the second batch in a cardboard backed envelope. Either method can lead to broken items in shipping. Fortunately no dead switches in either batch but there were a few bent pins which needed straightening out. Great build quality and reliability, and not overly expensive like some other brands with their over-the-top fancy colours and naming schemes.

Delivered the next day which is great, they sound amazing and seem to work great (im not an expert 😔). They look nice to but the only gripe i have is that they dim the lights on my keyboard because the base isn't clear. Overall, they were so good for the price and would probably buy more in future.

Really impressed with these switches — they feel incredibly smooth right out of the box thanks to the pre-lube, with a nice balance between weight and responsiveness. The sound is clean and satisfying without being too loud, which makes them great for both typing and gaming. Build quality is solid, and the consistency across all switches is spot on. They’ve made a noticeable improvement to my keyboard feel overall. Excellent value and definitely one of the best linear switches I’ve used at this price point. Highly recommend!

Thocky and smooth

These linear switches are a fantastic choice for those who prefer smooth, uninterrupted keypresses. Being pre-lubed, they are offering a fairly smooth typing experience right out of the box without the hassle of hand lubing. These Gateron Milky Yellow Pros produce a satisfying “thocky” sound profile that many enthusiasts love. Additionally, they have minimal case wobble and only moderate stem wobble, well within acceptable tolerance, so there’s no need for switch films. Best of all, these switches are budget-friendly, making them an excellent option for both beginners and enthusiasts alike.

Very quick delivery, less than 24 hours. Packaging was not great, items were chucked into a thin heat-sealed plastic bag and shipped in an Amazon cardboard sleeve. As a result three of the switches suffered from bent connection pins. Package was also 1 item short, fewer than the advertised quantity. Some ambiguity on the quantity you're paying for - title indicates 110 description states 105. The packs of 70 or 90 switches provide the same number as per their description - so I'm not sure what's going on with the 110 pack. It's advertised as 110 - that's what I was expecting. Either way, I didn't receive my full order. I replaced almost all of my keyboard's Gateron Reds for these. No faulty switches witnessed, a couple exhibit a resonant spring noise when pressed - hopefully they bed in and get rid of that trait. Higher typing force makes typing experience a little more satisfying. Seem well lubricated, so smooth keypress. (The Gateron Red switches that my Keychron came prefitted with, had a tendency to double input some of its keypresses). I'm hoping the advertised new gold alloy proves to offer long service-life. Initial impressions are that these keys feel better and with a quieter, less hollow sound to them, "thocky" if you will. I'm hoping that they loosen up a fraction over the next few days/weeks to make the good typing balance of noise and pressing force further improve. I like 'em.

Bought these to replace the linear K Pro Reds on a hot-swappable C1 Pro and I wish I'd done it months ago. I never really liked the original switches anyway, and when some of them started being flaky after only 6 months I'd had enough. These switches are perfect, much nicer feel. It's like having a brand new and better keyboard, I'm very happy! As others have said the packaging isn't great, but I did receive 110 switches without any damage (should have bought only 90 but oh well, at least I have lots of spares).

The main issue however is that a good handful of the switches arrived with bent pins, and they all came in a loose plastic bag. Luckily enough were not bent for me to fill out my keyboard and they sound amazing and work well! Only issue is how many were unusable. I'd recommend buying more than you think you need.

Sind nur 105 Stueck drin und im Beutel ueberall Haare und Schmutz. Ekelhaft

Very happy with these switches! They're cheap and they work and sound great

When they work, they're great. However after less than a year of intensive gaming, 3 switches started malfunctioning. Kind of pathetic if you consider my old keyboard (which sported brown cherry mx) lasted more than 5 years with no sign of malfunction ( I did break the W keycap due to wear and tear)

Really great switches for the cost! I know they’re pre-lubed but I heavily recommend lubing these before putting them on your keyboard - it’s night and day in my opinion. Sounds way better lubed, super creamy sound and feeling! I tried these on a cheap keyboard and an expensive custom one, works great on both!

Gateron Milky Yellows is the best cream of the crop switches out there. They are cost affordable with the extra thock and cushion in every press of the key. It is easy to install but make sure it fits your keyboard because it is a 5 pin switch instead of a 3 pin switch which can affect the installing process a lot. I personally used them on my RK61 and it fit perfectly and was amazing and sounded even better. Overall these Gateron Yellows were a band for the buck and very worth it whether you are a beginner to custom keyboards or a longtime professional
