Linear Typing Feel
The Oil King switch is the newest mechanical linear switch that features a Nylon PA66 upper housing, a housing base made of secret black Ink housing material, and a POM stem. The stem in the upper housing is fantastic with ultra-stability and almost no wobbliness. Compared to CJs, it has a deeper patch sound.
Gold Contact
The gold contact improves anti-oxidation performance and protects the key switch from corrosion, guaranteeing the switch will last for up to 60 million cycles. 
Black Plated Spring
The Oil King switch incorporates a long 20mm black plated spring allowing for 55g actuation and 80g bottom-out weight, creating a rather unique and super-smooth typing feeling.
Factory Pre-Lubed
It is pre-lubed in the factory to help avoid spring ping and unnecessary friction and hitches.
Compatible Keyboards
Compatible with 5-Pin MX mechanical (hot-swappable) keyboards with 2-Pin LED/4-Pin LED, or RGB-SMD lights that are not raised.
Notice: Due to the housing design of the Gateron Oil King switches, the backlight effect will not be that visible.
