The Puck 4 is Mares’s current entry-level puck, updated with the Bühlmann ZH-L16C algorithm and adjustable gradient factors that older Puck models lacked. It’s built for divers who want an uncomplicated computer that clips to a console or straps to a wrist, without console-level pricing.

"Gas switches" is how many different mixes this computer can be programmed to switch between mid-dive, mostly relevant for technical/staged-decompression diving. It doesn't tell you which gas types (air, nitrox, trimix) are supported. See Gas types and the product description above for that.
