thockyFrequently asked
Is the Gateron Oil King Heavy a heavy switch?
It actuates around 60g, which lands in heavy-tactile territory. It is noticeably weightier than a typical 45-50g tactile, so it rewards deliberate, firm typists more than fast, light gaming presses.
How does the Oil King Heavy compare to the original Oil King linear?
It shares the same Oil King DNA — the nylon top, Ink-material bottom housing, and POM stem responsible for that deep, resonant signature — but swaps the smooth linear stroke for a pronounced tactile bump near the top of the keypress.
Do these switches come pre-lubed?
Yes. They ship factory-lubed, so they feel smooth out of the box and need no immediate tuning to be enjoyable.
