Gateron Banana Smoothie switches are heavy tactile mechanical switches that deliver a sharper, more pronounced tactile bump than standard brown switches, ideal for users who like strong, deliberate feedback with each keystroke. As the heavy tactile member of Gateron’s full-POM Smoothie lineup, Banana Smoothie combines a dual-stage spring with full POM housing and stem for a smooth yet firm keypress and excellent durability. A detachable light guide window ensures clean, bright RGB or backlighting while maintaining compatibility with modern SMD LED backlit mechanical keyboards – mechboards.
