The Gateron North Pole Switches are designed to provide a clear and transparent look. The transparent design is possible thanks to the use of Polycarbonate as the housing material. Polycarbonate is a durable and sturdy plastic known for its ability to withstand high temperatures.
The North Pole Switches are linear, meaning they provide smooth and consistent resistance without a break or "bump". This makes them comparable to the Box Ink v2 Switches, with the difference that they have a slightly lower actuation force. This results in a lighter-feeling switch, which is ideal for gamers and typists looking for a fast and responsive experience.
