Comments on Gateron Root Beer Float switches

From Punkshoo, the switch designer behind the much-loved Gateron Cream Soda switches and the Aflion Melody and Runner Switches, comes his fourth release yet, the Gateron Root Beer Float. This are Punkshoo's second switch from Gateron, and its builds upon the success of the first, the Gateron Cream Soda. These switches feature the same housing material combination as the Cream Soda, with a Milky Top Housing and Ink Bottom Housing. Building upon that strong base, these switches feature a Ink Heavy Tactile stem and do not come pre-lubed so that each of us can tune the switch to our own personal preferences – keygem.
