Gateron Everfree Cedar Linear Switch – 10 Pieces

Gateron EF Cedar Linear

Gateron EF Cedar Linear are linear mechanical switches designed for users who prefer a completely smooth and consistent key movement, without tactile bumps or clicks. They are an excellent choice for gamers and intensive typists looking for a quiet and fluid keypress with moderate resistance. Precise factory lubrication reduces the initial scratchiness, making them ready to use right out of the box, without the need for additional modding.

Feel and Sound

• Smooth Linear Movement: The pure linear design provides a fluid keystroke without any tactile bumps.

• Minimal Friction: Factory lubrication helps minimize scratchiness, resulting in much quieter operation.

• Muted Acoustics: The sound profile is relatively quiet and subdued, without a sharp click or loud thock sound.

Actuation and Characteristics

• Balanced Pressure: A moderate actuation force of 55gf offers excellently balanced resistance, suitable for both gaming and typing.

• Classic Travel: A pre-travel of 2.0mm and a total travel of 3.6mm provide a standard and familiar travel distance.

• Consistent Bottom-Out: Bottoming out feels exceptionally even and without harsh impact, thanks to the smooth spring compression.

Build Quality

• Stable Housing: The top housing made of polycarbonate (PC) and the bottom housing made of nylon (PA) ensure high durability and a stable typing feel.

• Super Smooth POM Stem: The stem is made of POM material, which minimizes friction and contributes to the silky-smooth keystroke.

• Even Spring: The 19mm single-stage spring maintains perfectly consistent pressure throughout the entire key travel.

Compatibility

• Wide Application: The 5-pin design ensures compatibility with most printed circuit boards (PCBs) and plate-mount keyboards.

• Backlight Note: The construction does not include a built-in LED diffuser, which may affect RGB light diffusion.
