Gateron EverFree Curry Switches – Smooth, Soft-Sounding Mid-Weight Linear | 5-Pin, Pack of 10

The Gateron EverFree Curry is a 5-pin linear from EverFree — Gateron's dedicated sub-brand built on entirely new molds and housing designs, separate from the main Gateron lineup. It carries Gateron's quality standards and manufacturing heritage, but the EverFree series introduces its own material combinations and sound character, making the Curry a genuinely distinct option rather than a repackaged variant of an existing design.

The housing is PC top over nylon bottom, with a POM stem — a pairing that produces a softer, more muted acoustic profile than full-nylon or full-PC constructions. The PC top contributes cleaner RGB diffusion for backlit builds, while the nylon bottom gives a slightly warmer, more dampened base sound. The POM stem delivers the naturally smooth, low-friction linear feel POM is well-regarded for, and with factory pre-lubrication across the key contact points, the Curry performs consistently out of the bag with no prep required.

At 50gf actuation and 4mm total travel with a 2mm pre-travel, the Curry sits in a comfortable mid-weight range — light enough for extended typing without fatigue, but with enough resistance to avoid accidental actuation on resting fingers. The 15mm spring is on the shorter side, contributing a more linear, consistent force curve through the travel without a pronounced progressive buildup. Gold alloy contacts replace the copper used in most budget-tier switches, offering improved oxidation resistance and more reliable conductivity, and dual-layered pin construction adds strength at the PCB contact point to reduce deformation through repeated hot-swap cycles.

The EverFree Curry is a well-priced, well-specified linear for builders who want a quiet, smooth keystroke in a pre-lubed, SMD-compatible 5-pin package — whether for a work-from-home setup, a gaming build, or a first custom keyboard.
