Gateron Oil King Switches

Gateron Oil King Linear Switches – 10 Pack

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. Built with premium materials and tuned from the factory, this switch represents the peak of Gateron's linear lineup.

Product Description

The Gateron Oil King is a high-performance linear switch, engineered for enthusiasts who demand buttery smooth keystrokes and deep, muted acoustics straight out of the box. Its name comes from the proprietary factory lubricant, which coats the switch internals and delivers exceptional smoothness with no scratch or spring ping.

With a long-pole 3.5mm travel stem, the Oil King offers a solid, snappy bottom-out feel that makes it ideal for both high-speed gaming and focused typing sessions. Its nylon bottom housing and INK-series proprietary top housing combine to produce a low-pitched, bassy thock that’s instantly recognisable.

Oil Kings are consistently rated as some of the best stock linears ever made—no tuning required, no hype needed. Just clean, premium performance.
