Frequently Asked Question:

Q: Are these switches PCB or plate mountable?
A: These are 5 pin switches making them easy for PCB mounting.

Q: Can I mount these to the plate?
A: Yes, simply by removing the two plastic pins.

Q: Which is the right Gateron switch for me?
A: It’s all personal preference. We do sell switch testers that allow you to feel switches for a small price before making a big purchase. However, Brown is the most popular Gateron switch, so if you are still unsure then that colour would be a safe bet.
