Not the Fastest shipping, But worth the wait. Packaging was really good, much better than some other places where they are sent in baggies. And great Switches overall- can’t go wrong.
I love these switches. Factory lubing was okay and seemed pretty consistent but I opted to clean them and lube them myself. While factory lubing sounded great, definitely DIY lubing makes these shine. Doing your own lube lowers the thock to a deeper/fuller sound and makes typing feel buttery smooth.
My momoka frog v1s are failing at too significant a rate, so I decided to look into upgrading.
To this end, I purchased both these oil kings (switch of the year, in some circles) and the moondrop linears currently here on Drop. I have DKC and a $5 credit, so I was able to score each 35-pack for about $16. At that price, they're both no-brainers.
However, these oil kings feel a bit pillowy and like memory foam. If you've used the Aqua Kings, the sensation is quite similar. You won't get much RGB through these. Sound is quality, though.
I was looking for a slightly less resilient switch, so ultimately the Moondrops won out. However, these are 5-star switches for someone looking for this type.
I really enjoy these on my new build. They're definitely an upgrade from the mx blacks, and I enjoy the different feel (slicker?) vs the KS3 Pros (also nice).
The oil kings sound so pure straight out of the box and have no spring-ping at all. If talking in terms of making or breaking a board - these made my board.
I decided to hand lube all of these and wow they sound freaking fantastic. I'm sure the sound great stock out of the box as well, but I love them. Used them in a TKL board to game with and its such a great feeling.
Without having to individually lube these myself, these are the best out of the box switches that money can buy - they're reasonably priced and can be installed onto any keyboard to give it a deep, bassy sound that makes typing that much more enjoyable. Stems show no signs of wobbling and are super stable.
