New “Cap” Switch Mold
The Gateron Cap V2 Switch utilizes a new mold that is similar to a cap, that’s why we named it “Cap Switch”. The upgraded structure for the new switch series offers a smooth and tactile typing experience. It’s also fully compatible with 2-Pin/4-Pin LED, RGB-LED, and mechanical keyboard hot-swappable versions without modifications.
More Stable
The stem post is enlarged and hollowed out to make the switch more stable with almost no wobbliness. This first-generation gold-plated contact offers better oxidation resistance and a product lifespan of 60 million cycles.

Unique Stem Design
Based on aerodynamics theory, the stem with 0.4-sized tiny holes can release excess air and reduce resistance when the key switch is triggered, making it smoother.
Factory Pre-lubed
The switches are well lubed before leaving the factory, which generally improves the smoothness and stability. There is no need for you to lubricate it again.
Note: Cap Blue Switch is unlubed.
Factory Self-lubricated
The switches are well lubed before leaving the factory, which generally improves the smoothness and stability. There is no need for you to lubricate it again.
Note: Cap Blue Switch is unlubed.

Gateron Cap V2 Switch Set
Gateron Cap V2 Switch Set
Was given Aqua Zilents for free to try as someone new to the hobby and I found big tactile bumps abhorrent surprisingly. Used for weeks and still didn't like it so I went shopping for light tactiles. Very surprised to find that browns were frowned upon but after looking at reviews for THIS switch (they called the Cap V2 yellows, the Ink killers or something at way cheaper). The small amount of brown reviewers liked this switch on Youtube so I went for it and found they're slightly bigger bump than the normal browns AFAIK and it is super smooth and feels good, sound good to me on my q6.
I'm a MX brown 12 year user on daskeyboard, Coolermaster Masterkeys, so call me brainwashed but this seems like the switch for me. My intent is not to get into the hobby and buy a million things I don't use. I want to find something I like and call it a day, which is why Q6 was the choice for me, hopefully these switches and the mt3 profile (used) coming in will help with the angle of the q6 with no feet. So now this is my end game! My naruto way! LMAO!!!
In love with these switches and will buy from your store again
