Oil King
Ink Box Black
These Oil Kings are easily one of our favorite linear switches. When using them, we find buttery smoothness and a sound profile reminiscent of a dark chocolate bar snapping.
These Ink Box Blacks are incredibly smooth and creamy. The sound signature reminds us of a spray paint can being shaken.
