Keygeek Y1 48g
My review of the Keygeek Y1 48g: a factory-lubed medium-weight linear with a nylon top and PBT bottom housing for a full, deep-leaning sound out of the bag.

Frequently asked
How heavy is the Keygeek Y1 48g?
It actuates around 48g and bottoms out near 53g, a medium weight with a tight force gap that lands firmly without feeling heavy.
What does the nylon-and-PBT housing do to the sound?
Both materials damp the high end, so the Y1 leans deep and full — a thocky bottom-out rather than a bright clack.
Does it come lubed?
Yes, it ships factory-lubed and is smooth enough to run stock. Further lube is optional.
