Frequently asked
How heavy is the Ancient Grey?
Genuinely heavy — around 95g, among the stiffest stock linears you can buy. Mounted in a board they feel even firmer, so test before committing a full keyboard.
Is it good for gaming?
Not really. The weight is great for deliberate typing and avoiding accidental presses, but it gets tiring fast for fast double-taps and long gaming sessions.
Are they quiet?
Relatively, yes. The heavy spring and BOX stem keep the sound muted and controlled rather than poppy, which is why people like them for travel and shared rooms.
