Gateron Oil King Heavy Tactile

Manufacturer Introduction

Gateron has earned a reputation for producing some of the smoothest 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 Heavy Tactile takes the incredibly popular Oil King material choices and introduces a strong tactile bump paired with considerably reduced travel.

The tactility reminds me a lot of the BSUN Ocean and Haimu Mulberry with a well defined bump and an event that lasts through most of the keypress. These are seriously crisp and probably the deepest standard tactile switch I have yet come across. Very much in keeping with the Oil King DNA.
