Title: Are Gateron Blacks lighter or heavier than 65g MX Blacks?
Post by: Geroximo on Sat, 10 September 2016, 19:56:15

Hey,
question is in the title.
What is the actuation force of Gateron Blacks compared to the common spring weights 62g, 65g, 67g ?

roughly 50-55g activation. Somewhere around 70-75g bottom out iirc. They're considerably lighter than MX blacks, but noticeably heavier than MX reds.

I am aware of how Gateron Blacks compare to standard MX Blacks, but I'd like to know, how they compare to custom spring modded blacks.
As far as I recall, 62g,65g,67g is the bottom out force, so that would make them lighter than standard Gateron Blacks, if these bottom out at 70-75g?
