Special Note of Gateron Lemon Seabreeze

Editor's Note: Born from a collaboration between Gateron and Ukeebs, the Lemon Seabreeze is a lively linear with a refreshing pastel aesthetic. It features an extended stem pole with a reduced contact area, which sharpens keystroke clarity and gives every bottom-out a crisp, focused sound without harsh clatter. With a comfortable 45g actuation and a slightly shorter 3.6mm stroke, it feels swift and responsive for both everyday typing and fast-paced gaming. Its arc-shaped light diffuser also does a stellar job softening and spreading RGB across your keycaps.
