Frequently asked
How is the Obsidian Long different from the Obsidian Pro V2?
It swaps in a P3 long-pole stem, which shortens the downstroke and produces a firmer, more pronounced pole bottom-out. If you liked the Obsidian Pro V2 but wanted a snappier, more compact travel, this is the tweak.
What does the long pole feel and sound like?
The shortened travel gives a quick, decisive keypress with a solid stop at the bottom, and the pole bottom-out adds a clackier, more present tone than a standard-travel linear.
Do these switches need lubing out of the box?
They ship unlubed and are perfectly usable as-is, but a light hand-lube on the rails and springs smooths the keystroke and tames a little stem rattle for those chasing a refined long-pole sound.
