With the Gateron switches, Glorius has developed interchangeable key switches for its GMMK (Glorius Modular Mechanical Keyboard). There they are particularly easy to use, but they can of course be used on other keyboards or DIY projects.
The Gateron switches are compatible with SMD LEDs and can be illuminated through the transparent housing. Through the MX (+) port, the switches can also be used in keyboards equipped with Cherry MX switches. To ensure the highest possible compatibility, Cherry MX Keycaps are also compatible. With a lifespan of 50 million attacks, the Gateron switches are very durable.
The typing feel of the Gateron switches is very pleasant because the switches are much smoother and yet more tactile. This allows a completely new typing and gaming experience. The Gateron switches bring significant improvements to the (still) market-dominant Cherry switches.
The Gateron Black Switches are an alternative to the Red Switches because they are super-smooth, but need a bit more power. The linear switches are triggered at an actuation force of about 50 g and give no acoustic feedback. They are ideally suited for first person shooters.

They make a sound! (At the top and bottom of the stroke). I chose to go with Gateron Silent Blacks after getting a sample from mechbox.... the sample is truly silent, but unfortunately these aren't.
I bought a pack of these switches to replace the Titan Brown switches in my Roccat Vulcan 120, which had broken. It was my first time soldering new switches, but I could not be happier with the result. The packaging was simple and contained more than enough for a full sized keyboard. The feeling is also very good, and as advertised they are significantly quieter than the Titan Brown's they were replacing (although not totally silent, not that I was expecting them to be).
