Gateron KS-33 Low Profile 2.0 Switches

Ultra-Slim. Lightning-Fast. Precision Engineered.

Gateron KS-33 Low Profile 2.0 Switches

New Breakthrough And Upgrade Typing Feel

The Gateron KS-33 Low Profile 2.0 Switch is upgraded from the original KS-27 Low Profile Switch. It is one of the best ultra-slim mechanical keyboard switches that feature longer pre-travel and travel distances than the previous KS-27, but still actuates quicker than the normal profile switch. It not only ensures a fast, comfortable, and smooth fingertip feel but also reduces accidental keystrokes. If you enjoy lightning-speed typing or fast-paced gaming, this is your ideal match.

Inside Gateron Low Profile Brown Switches

Dustproof Structure

The MX-styled stem is designed with a circular dust wall structure to resist the intrusion of dust.

Improve Bottoming-out Feel

This brand new low profile switch is built with a 0.3 cm extended inner positioning stem pole and a 0.3 cm shortened side pole. It resolves the original issue of bottoming out early.
