Frequently asked

Is the Gateron Ink Yellow V2 linear or tactile?

It's a 60g linear — a smooth, uninterrupted keypress with no tactile bump and no click. It sits in the medium-weight range that suits both typing and gaming.

Does the Ink Yellow V2 need lubing?

No. It ships lightly factory-lubed and feels smooth out of the box. A hand lube and a film can tighten the sound further, but it's far from required.

What makes the INK housing different?

The proprietary INK-blend top and bottom housing is denser than standard nylon, which gives the switch a deeper, more rounded acoustic signature and a slightly more premium feel.
