Gateron Summertime Switches
Delivery in mid-October. Pre-order is live now! Sold in packs of 10.
Summertime features a full polished rail Milky top and bottom with molds being custom polished just for this project. The switch also brings the Ink material in the form of a lightly lubricated and polished 3.8mm travel linear stem paired with a dual stage 63g long spring. The goal is to provide a nostalgic feeling and sounding quality linear with a bright sound profile akin to BCPs (black cherry pies) and a crisp bottom out at a mid-tier price point.

Lube Recommendation
The stock lube is pretty good, but if you must, use 205g0 or 3204. These linears benefit from a nice thick lube. Give the whole stem a nice light coat, and give the bottom housing sliders a medium coating. I also recommend oiling the springs, but the stock springs are quite pleasant so they don't need to be replaced, just get some oil on them to prevent any ping.
Some people like thick films on these, some don't bother - your call!
