Frequently asked
How heavy is the Gateron Ink V2 Pro Black?
It's a 60g linear with a single-stage 20mm spring, putting it in the medium-weight bracket — heavier and more deliberate than a 45g switch but far from a stiff, fatiguing typing experience.
Does the Ink V2 Pro Black need lube?
No. It ships factory-lubed and feels smooth out of the bag. Hand-lubing can squeeze out a touch more polish, but most builders will be happy running it stock.
What makes the Pro version different from the standard Ink V2?
The Pro revision swaps the top housing to PC, adds an updated contact leaf, and uses reinforced three-layer pins for sturdier soldering and a slightly cleaner sound signature.
