Opening Gateron Switches
« on: Fri, 27 January 2017, 18:45:16 »
Will the MX switch opening tool work on Gateron switches? I want to swap the springs on my mod switches before installing them.

Thanks in advance.

I personally never opened a Gateron before, so can i actually use the exact same method as Cherry MX?

Yes for all the gateron switches I've had it was the same.

Some of the other brands of 'MX compatible' switches are different however.
