The Gateron KS-22 Optical switch is crafted with a transparent cover and black base. As an upgraded version of the KS-15 switches, we designed the KS-22 switches with a new structure and a more stable, smooth hand feel. Unlike a mechanical switch, an optical switch uses light for actuation instead of a metal-to-metal connection, enhancing the trigger speed over mechanical switches.

Enlarged Light-Transmitting Opening
Compared to the first-generation optical switch, we enlarged the Gateron KS-22 Optical Switch’s light-transmitting opening to increase the switch’s operational lifespan to 100 million.
New Waterproof Design Concept
These optical switches will introduce a new waterproof design concept that protects its body from water.
Factory Pre-Lubed
The Gateron KS-22 Optical Switch is lightly pre-lubed in the factory to offer a smooth and tactile typing experience, just like the mechanical switch.
How They Work
The infrared optical sensing component uses light-sensing principles to generate different but equivalent resistance to form two states of open circuits and paths, thereby triggering the key signal command.
