Frequently asked
Is the Durock Ice King 58g a heavy switch?
It sits in the medium range. Actuation lands around 58g with a 68g bottom-out, so it feels purposeful without being fatiguing over long sessions. Lighter-fingered typists may find the bump assertive at first.
Does the Ice King come pre-lubed?
Yes. It ships factory lubed, which keeps the stroke smooth out of the bag. Hand-lubing is optional rather than necessary for most builds.
Why is the total travel shorter than a standard switch?
The long-pole stem shortens bottom-out to roughly 3.5mm instead of the usual 4.0mm. That gives a tighter, poppier keystroke and a more pronounced bottom-out sound.
