While it’s important to nail the materials and the fundamentals for any mechanical switch, the linear switch is one that really shines when its components work together for smooth, satisfying action. The JWICK Ginger Milk Linear mechanical switch is an impressive testament to that attention to manufacturing detail Read More
I got them while being offered at a good value and can't complain as they feel smooth right out of the box (whether coming prelubed or not, didn't even care to find out as in my opinion, no need to mess around with these).
Ginger Milks are a switch produced by JWK/JWICK (JWK and JWICK are the same OEM that Durock sells switches from) under the JWICK name, which is typically used for their budget switches. Contrary to the name, these do not feel like budget switches.
DROP doesn't list whether they're factory lubed or not, but other sellers state they're unlubed and popping one open doesn't show much or any factory lube at all. And to my surprise, they are surprisingly smooth for unlubed switches.
There's a lot you can improve here if you're open to lubing switches, so I would definitely grab a few packs while they're discounted. Just keep in mind that the base price of 57 cents per switch is dangerously close to something like Gateron Oil Kings, so you might want to jump for those instead if you just want a switch that's excellent out of the box.
