- Gateron Oil King Switches, Pre-Lubed Linear Switches 55g, Quiet Smooth Mechanical Keyboard Switches for Gaming Office (72 PCS, Oil King)

These are awesome. The sound is as beautiful, smooth, and consistent as the horizon of the seas, and the typing experience feels like baby oil on a water slide (probably). Incredibly deep and rich sound, deserves a premium keyboard and premium keycaps for maximum value. I also like the more specific quantities available so people arent forced to buy an entire box of switches when they only need a few more.

Love the sound and feel of these. Highly recommend if you like linear switches

I had heard of these switches many times before actually buying them. They have great written reviews and people tend to gush over them in any video I watch about them. I will say that I only bought them when the price on them dropped, otherwise I'm not sure I would have bought them. That being said, I'm disappointed I waited so long to get them. They are most certainly worth the hype. Very linear. Buttery smooth. Heavy switch. You're not accidentally pressing a key down with these. Nothing crazy in the sound department. It's definitely the feel that's going to get you hooked. I've used them in both plastic and aluminum gasket mounted keyboards. You can't go wrong with either. If you're like me and the price is what's scaring you away, then wait till they're on sale and make your move. I don't buy the same switch twice, but whenever the price on these goes down next, I will be buying another set.

9/10 - I like my RGB on keyboards, so 1 point is knocked off. Switches feel smooth and heavy. I have a heavy hand when it comes to typing and the lighter gaming linear switches induced more typos for me. These feel very good and the deep thocky sound profile hits the spot. As I am typing this, I can't help but smile at the sound of marbles or dominoes being shuffled around. Only downside is that it does not allow light to passthrough it's solid black housing except for a small hole at the bottom (south). You will need south facing or side keycaps for RGB to shine through and even than the light is very dim. I do know that this design is intended, but this is a personal preference. I will be trying the Milky Yellow Pros soon to see if it allows more light at the sacrifice of a brighter sound.

I just swapped out my old switches for the Gateron Oil King V2 Pre Lubed 5pin Linear Switches, and the difference is amazing! They’re super smooth and quiet, which has made typing so much more enjoyable—no more annoying scratchiness. The pre-lubed feature was a huge time-saver; I didn’t have to spend hours tweaking them myself. Installation was pretty straightforward, and they feel really sturdy and high quality. Whether I’m working or gaming, these switches respond perfectly every time. Definitely a great upgrade for anyone looking to enhance their keyboard without breaking the bank!

Light doesn't really shine will on these. I tried using on north-facing lights keyboard and it doesn't work with south-facing shinethrough keycaps unlike my other switches that allow more light to pass through. Switches are very lightly lubed from the factory. I ended up applying more lube on all of my switches and they sound and feel a lot better. These are very expensive for the small amount of lube they come with. Should have more in it as I don't think the value is worth re-lubing them for the price.

Smooth and quiet. Compared to yellows, these are much quieter stock, not scratchy, but do take a bit more force to press down, which is definitely noticeable.

Great switches

Aunque el precio es mas elevado al de otros, estos switches estan pre lubricados y aunque el primer dia de uso se nota que tienes que darles un poco de si rapidamente se vuelven supercomodos de usar y con un sonido espectacular que buscaba. Lo unico hay que tener en cuenta que tienen un "peso" mayor por lo que vas a tener que hacerte de ellos aunque por mi lado me acostumbre muy rapidamente y me compre otro pack para cubrir todo el teclado con ellos. Es recomendable buscar en youtube para poder escucharlos antes de comprarlos como yo hice para ver si son de tu gusto, ya que son bastantes famosos no es dificil de encontrar un sound test bueno.

Im not so deep into this but I like how they sound.

real nice quality, and sound!

As bra brytare, rekommenderar ej dom för större knappar som mellanslag, skift, enter dom blir sega,

These are amazing. Decent weight, ( less than Black Ink v2s) smooth and no wobble. I cannot comment on the quality of factory loobed quality. They feel better than Banana Split Switches.
