Gateron
Gateron is a mechanical keyboard switch manufacturer. Specifically, Gateron make clones of MX switches as their G Pro set (now on its third version), while also extending the range to include various novel variations. See also Kailh.
In my limited experience, Gateron switches tend to be on the sturdier side.
