Gateron
Gateron Oil King


The Gateron Oil King is a linear switch with a fully opaque black nylon PA66 top housing and a proprietary INK-blend bottom housing, using Gateron's newest molds. It pairs a POM stem with a 20mm black-plated stainless steel spring. The long-pole stem design avoids interference with Cherry-profile keycaps and north-facing LEDs. The switches are factory lubed for smooth, consistent operation out of the box.
