Some specs from reviews or retailers · sources

Gateron's datasheet: 59 +/- 10 gf operating force, 2.0 mm +/- 0.6 pre-travel, 3.4 mm total travel, polycarbonate top, nylon base, POM stem, two-stage spring. Gateron's datasheet page labels the Banana a linear in one place; its product page and every retailer call it tactile, which is what we use. 5-pin recorded (3-pin also exists). The GBP price is Mechboards' 10-pack and it showed as backordered when checked. The photo shows two views of one switch.
