Ink Red
Gateron
This linear switch, distinguished by its lower actuation force, is perfect for those with a lighter typing style. We find the Ink Reds are satisfyingly smooth, have a crispy and clacky sound profile, and are effortless to type on.

How much does this try-before-you-buy program cost?
It costs $10, but we e-mail you a $10 discount code upon checking out with your try at-home switches. This makes our try-before-you-buy program essentially free.
