We are extremely impressed with Gateron's new housing molds. The stem wobble has been significantly decreased, and the sound profile is noticeably deeper and thockier.

These Gateron PRO Switches comes pre-lubed from the factory, which we normally don't care for - however, we found their lubing decently consistent for a factory job.

Yellow switches come with a slightly heavier spring than red switches. Aesthetically, the stem color is also different.

Yellow bottoms out at ~60g.
Red bottoms out at ~55g.

In our opinion, the 3-Pin variant looks worse, sounds and feels the same (if not worse), and costs the same, so we don't carry them. You can simply snip off the extra 2 pins if your PCB is not 5-pin compatible.

If we receive requests to carry the 3-Pin variant, we will certainly consider doing so!

We always recommend lubing on your own, since lubing preferences vary per person. However, Gateron has done a good enough job here, to where the less-picky folks can get away without lubing.

These housings are tight enough to not require filming. However, adding films will alter the sound profile of your switches (again, preference).
