Gateron Gecko Silent Linear is a keyboard switch released in September 2022.
Three focused profiles from published switch specifications. No overall score is generated because feel and use case are personal.
Measures actuation, travel, and force. Shorter, lighter movement favors speed. Advanced input features add capability.
Measures bump or click intensity. It uses feel type and tactile-force rise. Higher scores mean stronger feedback.
Measures published lifespan evidence. It uses documented construction details. It does not predict real-world reliability.

Editor's Note: Kinetic Labs and Gateron developed Gecko as a 5-pin silent linear switch. Direct Kinetic Labs documentation supports a 54 gf actuation force, 57.5 gf bottom-out spring, 2.0 mm actuation travel, 4.0 mm total travel, polycarbonate top, nylon bottom, and a POM stem with integrated silicone dampeners. The exact September 2022 day is not reliably documented, so the release is stored at month precision.
