On a bright and sunny day in the 1960s, the playground is teeming with life as the air rings with the joyous laughter and playful screams of children. You spend your day basking in the thrills of swings that take you higher and higher, seesaws that bounce you up and down, and monkey bars that challenge your climbing skills. As you look around, you see some kids busy with hopscotch, jump rope, or tag while others are having a blast on the merry-go-round. As the sun sets, you and your buddies head to the nearby soda shop for a refreshing treat. The classic root beer float is always your go-to drink, with its foamy root beer mixed with creamy vanilla ice cream making for a delightful, refreshing blend. Finally, you all sit outside on the patio, savouring the deliciousness and reflecting on the great time you had on the playground, feeling happy and content with the perfect ending to a fun-filled day.


Introducing the Gateron Root Beer Float Switch, the latest innovative design by PuNkShoO, creator of the Gateron Cream Soda, Aflion Melody, and Aflion Runner switches. Inspired by the nostalgia of sunny playground days and refreshing root beer floats, this tactile switch delivers an unbeatable typing experience that's both smooth and satisfying.

The Root Beer Float switch boasts a unique combination of Ink bottom and Milky top housing materials, providing unparalleled smoothness. In addition, the innovative Ink material long pole tactile stem enhances your typing experience, ensuring a crisp bottom-out without sacrificing the smoothness you expect from Gateron switches.

Designed to emphasise tactility, the gold-plated dual-stage spring offers a lighter 58g bottom-out force, allowing the medium-heavy bump to shine. The result? A typing feel that's more aggressive than Runner switches, yet more comfortable than other sharp tactiles - a perfect sweet spot for every keyboard enthusiast.

One of the standout features of the Root Beer Float switch is its unlubed design, catering to the preferences of keyboard enthusiasts. This switch offers a blank canvas for you to fine-tune its performance to your liking, allowing you to create a personalised tactile experience like never before.

Don't miss the chance to elevate your typing experience with the Gateron Root Beer Float switch. Embrace the nostalgia of childhood memories, and bring a touch of playfulness to your keyboard. So order yours now, and get ready to rediscover the joy of typing!
