Design and Performance:

The G Pro 3.0 Yellow switches feature a 0.3–0.33 mm three-ply pin design, providing a more reliable connection and longer lifespan. The strengthened pins are less prone to damage and deformation, ensuring durability during hot-swapping. Despite the increased strength, the pin thickness remains unchanged, maintaining compatibility with hot-swappable keyboards. 

The switches are pre-lubricated from the factory, contributing to a polished and creamy typing feel with reduced friction and smooth key travel. This results in a satisfying and responsive experience suitable for both typing and gaming.

Sound Profile:

The G Pro 3.0 Yellow switches produce a higher-pitched, clacky sound profile, offering a sharp and crisp auditory feedback during typing. This sound characteristic is preferred by users who enjoy a more pronounced keystroke sound. 

Comparison with Other Gateron Switches:

Compared to the Gateron Milky Yellow Pro (KS-3) switches, the G Pro 3.0 Yellows offer a higher-pitched sound and a more polished feel. The Milky Yellow Pro switches, on the other hand, provide a lower-pitched, "thocky" sound and a buttery, textured typing experience. Both switches are budget-friendly and cater to different user preferences in terms of sound and feel. 

In summary, Gateron's G Pro 3.0 Yellow switches are an excellent choice for users seeking a smooth, responsive, and durable linear switch with a distinctive sound profile, suitable for various typing and gaming applications.
