Frequently asked

Does the Durock Black Lotus 55g need lubing?

It ships factory lubed and feels very good out of the box, so most people can skip hand-lubing. Enthusiasts chasing the absolute smoothest result can still apply a thin coat of Krytox 205g0, but it's a refinement rather than a necessity.

What does the Black Lotus 55g sound like?

The modified PC/UPE top and nylon bottom housing give it a deeper, fuller bottom-out than most all-poly linears — clacky on top but muted and rounded underneath, especially in a foamed or gasket-mounted board.

Is 55g actuation light or heavy?

It's a comfortable mid-weight. With a 55g actuation and a 63.5g bottom-out, it sits in the sweet spot for everyday typing — not fatiguing for long sessions, but with enough resistance to avoid accidental presses.
