Product details

The Oil King switch is the latest mechanical linear switch, designed with a Nylon PA66 upper housing, a base made from a proprietary black Ink housing material, and a POM stem. The stem within the upper housing offers exceptional stability with minimal wobble. In comparison to CJ switches, it produces a deeper, more resonant sound. The switch features a long 20mm black-plated spring, providing a 55g actuation force and an 80g bottom-out weight, delivering a distinctive and incredibly smooth typing experience. It comes factory-pre-lubed to reduce spring ping and eliminate unwanted friction or sticking.
