It carries forward the same nylon PA66 top housing and proprietary Ink bottom housing that give the Oil King line its deep, resonant sound, while internal mute rings on the stem rails soften the top-out and bottom-out for a noticeably quieter keystroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach press delivers a clear, defined bump followed by a softly dampened bottom-out — enough tactile feedback to feel every actuation, without the sharp clack of a standard tactile switch. It's a strong pick for shared workspaces, late-night sessions, or anyone who wants tactile feedback without the noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDefined Tactile Bump:\u003c\/strong\u003e A clear, moderate bump gives confident feedback on every keystroke without feeling harsh.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDampened, Quiet Acoustics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Internal mute rings on the stem rails soften both the top-out and bottom-out for quieter typing than a standard Oil King tactile.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced Actuation Force:\u003c\/strong\u003e At roughly 55gf, this switch sits comfortably between light and heavy, suited to both office typing and gaming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth POM Stem:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reduces internal friction for a clean, wobble-free keystroke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFactory Pre-Lubed:\u003c\/strong\u003e Applied at the factory to minimize scratchiness and spring ping right out of the bag.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong-Life 5-Pin Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reinforced 5-pin mounting for stable seating on PCB-mount and hot-swap boards, rated for up to 60 million keystrokes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Gateron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: Oil King\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitch Type: Tactile Silent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActuation Force: 55 ± 15 gf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-Travel: approx. 1.5 ± 0.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal Travel: 3.8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifespan: 60 million keystrokes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStem Material: POM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop Housing Material: Nylon PA66\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottom Housing Material: Proprietary Ink blend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring: 20mm dual-stage, black-plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMounting: 5-pin (PCB-mount, hot-swap compatible)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLED Support: Plug-in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory Lubed: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSound Dampening: Integrated mute rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Due to the design of the Oil King housing, backlighting is less visible through the switch than on standard translucent-housing switches.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Gateron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52880617177408,"sku":"GAT-OILKING-PUR-TSIL","price":9.1,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/6390\/0224\/files\/gateron-oil-king-silent-tactile.png?v=1785778868","url":"https:\/\/beaverkeys.ca\/products\/gateron-oil-king-light-purple-tactile-silent-switch","provider":"beaverkeys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
