The Gateron Sage linear switch is Unikeys and Mori's first Gateron custom switch project. It all started with a franken switch where Mori put a Sea Salt Smoothie stem into KS-3 Milky Yellow Pro housing; The franken switch sounded and felt awesome which gave us the idea to create the Sage switch.

In short, we used the Sea Salt Smoothie POM stem and KS-3 Milky Yellow Pro housing mold; This mold and material combination creates:

1. A thocky and satisfying sound signature
2. A smooth travel, similar to all Gateron switches, but with less stem wobble
3. A solid bottom out feel since this is a long pole switch

We understood how Gateron factory lube could be troublesome, that's why we asked Gateron to dial down on the amount of lube they use.
