Keygeek Oat Linear (10 pack)

Product Description:
The Keygeek Oat is a low-force linear switch built for subtlety and smoothness, delivering a mellow typing experience ideal for long sessions. With a modest ~40g actuation and 45g bottom-out force, this switch prioritizes feather-light operation without compromising consistency. The full PA66 housing (both top and bottom) contributes to a gently muted, non-intrusive sound profile—perfect for users who want a softer, cleaner tone without going fully silent.

ThereminGoat’s in-depth review praised the Oat's exceptionally low stem wobble, especially for an unboxed stem design. Vertical stability is excellent, and horizontal play is minimal—rivaling switches with far more aggressive stabilization designs. The POM stem glides easily along the rails, aided by an above-average factory lube application that avoids messiness while still improving smoothness out of the box.

The Oat doesn't aim to overwhelm with unique acoustics or force curves—it’s built to feel “right” in a way that becomes more noticeable the longer you type. There’s no scratch, no ping, and no pretense—just clean downstrokes, gentle upstrokes, and consistent tactility across the board.
