Frequently asked
Does the Ink Box Black 60g need lube?
No. It ships factory lubed and runs smooth out of the box. A light hand lube on the springs can take the edge off any faint spring noise, but it is optional rather than necessary.
How is the short 1.2mm pre-travel?
Actuation arrives faster than a standard MX linear, closer to a speed switch. It rewards quick typists and gamers, and it suits a spacebar where a short, snappy press feels natural.
What makes the Ink housing different?
Gateron's proprietary INK blend gives the housing a denser, deeper acoustic character than standard nylon, leaning toward a fuller, muted thock rather than a bright clack.
