Moved from Kalih white boxy to this and right away feel the big difference. It’s super easy on the fingers and the ears.

These work and are cheap. A good starting point for mechanical keyboards.

While Gateron Pro 2.0 Yellow switches are somewhat inexpensive linear switches they are certainly not bad linear switches. Here are the specs published on the Gateron web site:-- Stem: POM-- Top Housing: Polycarbonate, transparent-- Bottom Housing: Nylon, Milky-- Spring: Spring steel-- Pins: 3-Pin-- Pre-lubed: Factory lubed-- Operation: 50±15 gf-- Pre-travel: 2.0±0.6 mm-- Total travel: 4.0mmThe Pro 2.0 Yellows are 3-pin switches. They are applicable for both 3-pin or 5-pin PCBs. These switches do remind me quite a bit of the Milky Yellow switches where the main difference is the top housing: PC for the Pro 2.0 and Nylon for the Milky.I'm a bit of a heavy typist and generally use Gateron Oil Kings (55gf activation) or Gateron Box Black Inks (60gf activation) in my daily driver keyboard. The Pro 2.0 Yellows are advertised to have a 50gf +/- 15gf activation force. The +/- 15gf variance is a rather wide tolerance – shared by my Box Black Inks – though the Oil Kings publish only a +/- 5gf variance. In practice this variance is really not noticeable, however.Gateron Pro 2.0 Yellows have a "normal" length stem pole and are not considered long pole switches. They have a full 4mm travel. In contrast, the Box Black Inks have a longer stem pole and a shorter travel distance.I ordered a 36 pack of these switches to test in a keyboard. That's not enough for a full keyboard so I used them in place of the alpha keys and some modifiers. Compared to lubed the Milky Yellows, the Pro 2.0 switches have a lower, "thoccier" sound when installed on a polycarbonate plate. They are smooth like the Milky switches and are a good drop-in replacement if one is looking for a (slightly) deeper sound. I think I'll order another pack to complete that keyboard.Oh, regarding the number of switches in a pack: I'm used to receiving Gateron switches in 35 packs with a 7x5 tray of switches. It seems Gateron is switching that up to 36 packs with a 9x4 tray layout instead.The stock Pro 2.0 Yellows are factory lubed. I opened up a few of them to verify and there is indeed lube on the stems and rails as well as in the bottom housing and inside the stem at the top of the spring. However, the amount applied is somewhat inconsistent and manual re-lubing may be required to achieve a consistent experience. But that said, lubing takes time and effort and I can attest that these are usable out of the box. They are smooth and exhibit no spring ping when installed.In use, the Pro 2.0 Yellows are demonstrably lighter than the Oil Kings and Box Black Inks, as expected. However, they are not so light that I dislike using them. For me, they may wind up in a numpad rather than in my daily driver.The Pro 2.0 Yellow bottom housing has an open slot on the bottom surface and the top housing is transparent with a cutout. This combination allows ample RGB backlight to shine through. Conversely, the Oil Kings have no cutout at all and they actually block backlighting.Overall the Pro 2.0 Yellows are decent switches, especially at their relatively low retail price. They come usable out of the box, which is a bonus. They have a medium weight that should satisfy folks looking for something heavier than lightweight switches.

So the ONLY reason I'm not giving this 5/5 stars is because when you open the keys, some were not lubed when they got to me (who knows maybe it can evaporate? I'm trying to give benefit here guys come on lol) but many had zero lube or such a small amount it was negligible. Others had what I think is too small amount.So "FOR ME" I could care less. As you may have noticed by now I opened every single one because I decided to lube each one myself, just the way I like it. So tbh they could've been dry for me. But for the other people maybe who just wants to slap them on and be done, I don't think they would be happy. At the very least for inconsistencies in the lube. It'll lead to a different feel on each key.So honestly, if your ALREADY looking at buying these 1st off, DO IT! They are what I consider the best and the staple for keys on the market. But #2 LUBE YOURSELF! It's very easy. Get your own key opener so none break and it's super easy- you'll be happy you did. AND BUY THESE TOO! Again, you'll be happy you did. I slapped these on my Keychron k8 Wireless Pro board (my favorite board btw) and now it is "THE ULTIMATE TECH MONSTER BOARD." ✌🏼❤️😊 Booyaka.4/5 Stars but also 5/5 stars lol!!THANK YOU!!
