Gateron Oil King V2 Pre Lubed 5pin Linear Switches for Mechanical Keyboard (72 PCS, Oil King)

These are awesome. The sound is as beautiful, smooth, and consistent as the horizon of the seas, and the typing experience feels like baby oil on a water slide (probably). Incredibly deep and rich sound, deserves a premium keyboard and premium keycaps for maximum value. I also like the more specific quantities available so people arent forced to buy an entire box of switches when they only need a few more.

S-tier linear switches. The packaging was great and none of the switches had bent pins. The installation was as easy as any other switches. The switches are incredibly smooth and have an excellent "thock" to them which makes them a joy to type on. If you are looking for nice sounding and smooth switches, look no further.

9/10 - I like my RGB on keyboards, so 1 point is knocked off. Switches feel smooth and heavy. I have a heavy hand when it comes to typing and the lighter gaming linear switches induced more typos for me. These feel very good and the deep thocky sound profile hits the spot. As I am typing this, I can't help but smile at the sound of marbles or dominoes being shuffled around. Only downside is that it does not allow light to passthrough it's solid black housing except for a small hole at the bottom (south). You will need south facing or side keycaps for RGB to shine through and even than the light is very dim. I do know that this design is intended, but this is a personal preference. I will be trying the Milky Yellow Pros soon to see if it allows more light at the sacrifice of a brighter sound.

Smooth and quiet. Compared to yellows, these are much quieter stock, not scratchy, but do take a bit more force to press down, which is definitely noticeable.

I had heard of these switches many times before actually buying them. They have great written reviews and people tend to gush over them in any video I watch about them. I will say that I only bought them when the price on them dropped, otherwise I'm not sure I would have bought them. That being said, I'm disappointed I waited so long to get them. They are most certainly worth the hype. Very linear. Buttery smooth. Heavy switch. You're not accidentally pressing a key down with these. Nothing crazy in the sound department. It's definitely the feel that's going to get you hooked. I've used them in both plastic and aluminum gasket mounted keyboards. You can't go wrong with either. If you're like me and the price is what's scaring you away, then wait till they're on sale and make your move. I don't buy the same switch twice, but whenever the price on these goes down next, I will be buying another set.

Overall a great switch. buttery smooth travel and a softer bottom out the I expected. now the leds... since the switch housing is black the leds don't shine through as much. there isn't a deep cut out like other switches to let more light pass through. as a result the less are extremely dim on my board at least(Epomaker th66 pro, it has a white plate btw) also one thing to note: I have Cherry Profile Keycaps and my top row of sockets are north facing leds- I have no interference issues. I lied but this is a result of the board with the leds on the '1' socket being a taller than the rest so I have to use a different switch for that one key. but this allows you to compare the brightness. the '1' key is a WS Heavy Tactile- white housing(it has a larger bottom cutout) the rest of the board is the Gat OilKings and it is noticably dimmer(no cut out and all black housing) if you care more about the feel and sound of your board these are a great choice. if you care about the pretty lights I recommend a switch with a clear upper housing or at least white housing top and bottom if I knew my leds would be so dim I can't even see them I would've purchased another switch tbh- but I like the sound of these switches over what I had previously so ill be hanging onto them as daily drivers. I can verify the switches do feel prelubed btw and they are excellent no scratchyness or ping from the keys. Also these are a little heavier than regular linear as the switch has a longer spring so typos are less likely to occur.

There isn’t much to mention about this switch as they are a sub-variant of the Smoothie line. They feel, sound, and function amazingly. They also set up into the board with no issues with fit. They fit into the plate flawlessly, and the light diffusion is great, but hindered by the dark housing just a touch. The only real negative is that they are extremely expensive, but overall I loved them so much I bought more to put into a board for a friend. My recommendation, get the Regular smoothie switches as they are more affordable and feel almost similar in terms of smoothness.

These with stock factory lubing are better (for my tastes) than the Akko Rosewoods that everyone swears by. I liked them but these feel like they have less friction and are heavier switches, which I value.

Aunque el precio es mas elevado al de otros, estos switches estan pre lubricados y aunque el primer dia de uso se nota que tienes que darles un poco de si rapidamente se vuelven supercomodos de usar y con un sonido espectacular que buscaba. Lo unico hay que tener en cuenta que tienen un "peso" mayor por lo que vas a tener que hacerte de ellos aunque por mi lado me acostumbre muy rapidamente y me compre otro pack para cubrir todo el teclado con ellos. Es recomendable buscar en youtube para poder escucharlos antes de comprarlos como yo hice para ver si son de tu gusto, ya que son bastantes famosos no es dificil de encontrar un sound test bueno.

Im not so deep into this but I like how they sound.

real nice quality, and sound!

As bra brytare, rekommenderar ej dom för större knappar som mellanslag, skift, enter dom blir sega,

These are amazing. Decent weight, ( less than Black Ink v2s) smooth and no wobble. I cannot comment on the quality of factory loobed quality. They feel better than Banana Split Switches.
