The Gateron Type R tactile switch might be the craziest tactile switch you have ever seen. Sillyworks' goal was to create a tactile switch that doesn't come with any linear travel: A 100% pure tactile switch. Let's take a look at how they got that done:

Type R switch has a super short travel distance which is 3mm only. With the help of the elongated stem pole and tactile bump design, the tactility starts at the keypress and ends with the bottom-out. It 

Sound-wise, because the travel is so short and bottom-out comes too quickly, the Type R switches tend to sound clackier than other Gateron tactile switches.

George ★★★★★

I was skeptical about the "no linear travel" claim, but sure enough, the bump hits right at the top of the press and feels incredibly crisp. The factory lubing is clean and quiet, making these perfect for my daily driver.

Zoe B. ★★★★★

I wasn't sure a switch could actually feel 100% tactile until I tried these — there's literally zero pre-travel before the bump hits you. The factory lube is applied just right, smooth with no scratchiness out of the box.

Ava C. ★★★★★

The bump is so sharp and immediate that it genuinely feels like there's zero pre-travel, which is exactly what I was hoping for. It's a weird but satisfying typing experience that takes a bit to get used to.
