New "Cap" Switch Shape
The Gateron Cap V2 Switch uses a new shape that resembles a cap, which is why we named it the "Cap Switch". The improved structure for the new switch series provides a smooth and tactile typing experience. It is also fully compatible with 2-pin/4-pin LED, RGB LED and mechanical keyboards that are hot-swappable without modifications.
More stability
The shaft has been enlarged and hollowed out to make the switch more stable and prevent wobbling. This first generation gold-plated contact offers better oxidation resistance and a product life of 60 million cycles.
Unique shaft design
Based on the theory of aerodynamics, the shaft with 0.4 tiny holes can allow excess air to escape and reduce resistance when the key switch is operated, making it more supple.
Factory pre-lubricated and supple
The switches are well lubricated before leaving the factory, which generally improves smoothness and stability. There is no need for you to re-lubricate them.
Compatible keyboards:
Compatible with all 5-pin MX mechanical keyboards (hot-swappable) with 2-pin LED/4-pin LED/SMD LED or RGB LED lighting. Note that the Cap Red Switch, Cap Blue Switch and Cap Brown Switch are not compatible with mechanical keyboards with plug-in light. Note: Due to the case design of the Gateron Cap Milky-Yellow, Golden-Yellow and Golden-Brown switches, the backlight effect is not as visible.
