Gateron Fades are a switch designed by Bowl Keyboards and produced by Gateron. They have a full travel, rail bottom out design that utilizes a polished stem. The switch is reminiscent of the Cherry MX lineup in terms of sound. The feel is smoother due to it's polished stem and most people decide to use them stock (lubed for a smoother feel and unlubed if they still prefer a small amount of scratch). Both variants (lubed and unlubed) have the same specifications aside from the factory lubing.
