Comments on Gateron X switches
Each bottom housing comes with an X engraving on the bottom as well as polished interiors where the stem contacts the housing. These polished areas reduce surface roughness while maintaining stem tolerances. For this initial run, Gateron X comes in the classic nylon-blend milky top, nylon black bottom, and bright yellow POM stem. These stems differ from the traditional Gateron Yellows and are from the Gateron Pro line-up. These stems were also polished prior to this production run – rectanles.store.
