Gateron Oil King

The Gateron Oil King Silent Series is an MX-compatible, standard-profile silent switch series developed to preserve the smooth typing feel of the renowned Oil King series.

It inherits the traditional material composition featuring a POM stem, Nylon top housing, and proprietary Ink material bottom housing. In addition to precise factory lubrication, it incorporates a custom 20mm black-plated two-stage spring, achieving a smooth, wobble-free keypress alongside a responsive, fast rebound that closely follows your fingers.

Featuring upgraded silent rings (sound dampeners) on both sides of the stem, it delivers a quiet design that significantly reduces harsh typing noise while maintaining the signature premium typing feel of the Oil King.

✅ Silent design with sound dampeners on both sides of the stem to significantly reduce typing noise ✅ Proven material construction (Nylon top and Ink bottom) for a stable bottom-out feel ✅ Highly responsive, smooth rebound powered by a 20mm two-stage black-plated spring ✅ 5-pin design for a secure, wobble-free fit on hot-swappable PCBs
