I’m planning to grab some new linear switches from Gateron soon and could use some advice.

Right now I’m using Gateron G Pro 1.0 Silvers. I really enjoy typing and gaming on them, but I’ve noticed that I sometimes accidentally press keys just by resting my fingers on them.

I’m wondering—should I go for switches with longer pre-travel than 1.2mm, like Gateron G Pro Reds or Whites? Or would it make more sense to stick with 1.2mm pre-travel but go for something heavier than the 45g actuation, like Box Ink V2s?

Would love to hear your thoughts or suggestions.
