Gateron Smoothie Switches Reviewed and Ranked

[@WitchRegen]

I just built my first custom keyboard using the Gateron Smoothie switches, and they feel/sound excellent to type on. Would highly recommend.

[@fops]

been typing on these switches most of the year. big fan of them

[@BusinessJellyfish]

Do you guys no longer do the free switch test kits? I can't find them on the site at all

[@TerribleGamesTV2]

Very interesting camera angles for the sound test lmao

[@DeadCroc]

Is it just me or they all sound the exact same

[@LongTran-yv2nq]

Yup, they all sound the same

[@James-xk9pc]

@@LongTran-yv2nq honestly audio through videos is not great representation, tbh if you really want to hear/feel the difference you have to get them yourselves.

[@faqugang4527]

Well they are the same switch basically

[@albertko1]

Smoothies are definitely a favorite of mine these days. Nice tight housing and very minimal stem wobble with nice creamy sound and smooth actuation.

[@blainetruth2134]

which sounds the thockiest and loudest?

[@QualityScrub]

Current switch of the year for me

[@MarkedinBlood]

obsessed with this switch, wonder if there are any out there with a comparable feel.

[@nicholasdao1201]

Can you make a ranking video for HMX switches?

[@xAlbo94]

I noticed you testing on the Neo80 now. How are you liking it? Still waiting for mine to come in

[@OmegaTempest]

My man didn't mention how the smoothies have basically no stem wobble - lowest from any switch I've tried stock

[@danielbean9458]

those switches has less wobble than my filmed switches are blowing my mind

[@Sylanthus]

Ayyy thank you for making this video!! Glad I requested for it :)

[@Nabe0s]

what is the bottom out force of gateron sea salt smoothie?

[@jammies701]

Nice vid mate

[@aar093]

Can you do the new Osume switches?

[@ProgramKiraTV]

too loud for an office environment or not that bad?

[@huunhanle3809]

Even though it's a full POM switch, it's not that loud compare to NK Cream. And I also think the switch is not that loud compare to HMX switches either. You can use the switch in office environment just fine, unless your office is too quiet like "Silen Hill", lol.

[@manceirvin7068]

Top 5 thocky switches next?

[@liyming]

he posted :0 also xinhai's amazing

[@JustinBowsher]

These honestly make my Morandis feel like a downgrade

[@fnvfanMSPR]

Morandis are a downgrade to a lot of switches

[@johnnytex1040]

W/ how good these switches have been, sadly I think they're my first and last purchase from y'all.

[@YoChrisWTF.]

Are these good for wooting?

[@truitt23381]

The wooting uses magnetic switches, so no

[@drwdcnl]

How does it compare to ktt kang white?

[@huunhanle3809]

Smoother, firmer when mounting on PCB (since it's 5 pin switch), louder and more high pitched compared to Kang White.

[@boyabundance]

for me these smoothies are kinda comparable to a modern nk cream, much more smoother but with the similar sound signature

[@SarveshNaik5]

I have heard gateron switches are scratchy. I am confused between akko Cream yellow pro or this. I am looking for creamy to thoccy sound while also not being scratchy to type on my monsgeek m1.

[@Darth_Modred]

those are smooth and lubed

[@Zliarx]

Akko are more scratchy Akko needs lubing Get gateron instead

[@RedPanda777_7]

​@@ZliarxI agree. I have akko yellow and gateron milky yellow and when compared the gaterons are much more creamy.

[@huunhanle3809]

One thing that I don't like about Smoothie is that: they cling very tight to the Plate/PCB, took me a solid 30 minutes to dissemble them out of my Tofu FA keyboard.

[@fnvfanMSPR]

That's a good thing imo

[@WatchVirtrinous]

I bought some smoothie silvers (:

[@Strider1Wilco]

Nah dude I feel like they're really thin sounding. I've tried these on budget and high end boards. I wish they didn't sound that way.

[@dslander]

Should i get smoothies or milky yellows?

[@lute_cg]

myne lubed leaked so the switches became super mushy and nonsounding, change them for hmx xinhai

[@justanobody4983]

Lube leaked? What? Stop the cap.

[@lute_cg]

@@justanobody4983 it happened, also happened on some neo white switches on a friend keeb

[@AnzelLmao]

@@justanobody4983I’ve had it happen with gateron caps!! But I’m unsure if it was an issue with the unique switch design or an issue with the lube itself.
