Gateron Banana Smoothie Heavy Tactile Switch — Tactile

Overview

Heavier take on the Banana Smoothie idea. This version hits harder, with a clearly defined tactile bump and a firmer spring that lands around 60 g, so it’s better for people who like to feel every keypress. Still Gateron-smooth, but tuned for control and accuracy rather than featherlight typing.

Why it’s great 

- Heavy, distinct tactile event, good for deliberate typing and gaming tap confidence.

- Gateron materials and factory prep keep it from feeling scratchy even at this weight

- Easy drop-in for people coming from Browns/medium tactiles who want more feedback
