GATERON OIL KING PINK LINEAR SILENT

Gateron Oil King Pink Linear Silent Switch

The Gateron Oil King Pink Linear Silent brings the acclaimed Oil King smoothness to a quiet, dampened linear switch. Built on the same nylon PA66 top housing and proprietary Ink bottom housing that defined the original Oil King linear, this variant adds internal sound-dampening rings that soften both the top-out and bottom-out, delivering a consistent, discreet keystroke with none of the tactile bump.

A long 20mm black-plated dual-stage spring gives a light, even actuation force well-suited to both fast typing and gaming, while the muted acoustic profile keeps things quiet enough for shared spaces, offices, and late-night sessions.

Key Features

• Consistent Linear Feel: A smooth, bump-free actuation path from press to bottom-out, ideal for gaming and rapid typing alike.
• Dampened, Quiet Acoustics: Internal mute rings on the stem rails soften both the top-out and bottom-out for noticeably quieter keystrokes than a standard Oil King.
• Light, Balanced Actuation Force: At roughly 45gf, this switch stays light and responsive without feeling mushy or unstable.
• Smooth POM Stem: Reduces internal friction for a clean, wobble-free keystroke.
• Factory Pre-Lubed: Applied at the factory to minimize scratchiness and spring ping right out of the bag.
• Long-Life 5-Pin Design: Reinforced 5-pin mounting for stable seating on PCB-mount and hot-swap boards, rated for up to 60 million keystrokes.
