Gateron Oil King Silent Tactile

Manufacturer Introduction

Gateron has earned a reputation for producing some of the smoothest linear switches in the enthusiast scene, and the Oil King is its flagship brand name. Built with premium materials and tuned from the factory, this range of switches are top tier stock.

Product Description

The Gateron Oil King Silent Tactile takes the incredibly popular Oil King material choices and introduces a medium rolling tactile stem and an innovative silencing technology. 

Rather than using conventional dampening pads at the ends of the stem rails, they feature soft white dampening rings that wrap around the entire perimeter of each slider rail. These compress at the upper and lower limits of travel to soften the stem's impact against the housing. It's an unusual variation on conventional MX silent-switch construction, although the underlying principle is similar.
