Gateron Oil King Linear Switch (Pack of 10)
Gateron Oil King
THE VAULT VERDICT The Gateron Oil King is widely considered the "King of Stock Linears." These arrive with a fantastic factory lube job, meaning you don't need to spend hours modding them yourself. The housing combination (Nylon top, Ink bottom) creates a deep, satisfying "thock" that feels premium right out of the bag. If you want a heavy, smooth switch without the work, this is the one.
