Linear vs. clicky switches: which is right for gamers?

Linear switches have a smooth keystroke from top to bottom, with no click sound or tactile bump. This makes them a popular choice for FPS titles thanks to their fast, consistent response.

Clicky switches, on the other hand, provide audible and tactile feedback at the actuation point, letting users feel exactly when a key registers — ideal for players who value typing feel over pure speed.

With the VERTEX line, VERITY GEAR offers both switch options so users can freely choose based on their playstyle, with hotswap support for easy switching without specialized tools.
