Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Gateron Oil Kings, was looking for some thick and loads of reviews mentioned these. I am open to suggestions on other switches to try but first impressions these are nice.
  • Switches - Gateron Oil King
  • If you want a linear that's heavier than what you're using... Gateron Oil King (55g actuation, 65g bottom out)
  • Now that I think about it, most of my favorite linears are still Gateron. Oil King, Sea Salt Smoothie and North Pole come to mind.
  • Switches: Gateron Oil King, relubed

Cons

  • I have a set of oil kings but unfortunately RGB light with kings is barely noticeable.
  • Switch: Akko Rosewood (but planning to replace them with Gateron Oil King)

I didn't wanna have to buy new ones as I like the Oil Kings, and this was faster than waiting for Amazon to ship new ones.

Switches: Gateron oil king v2 I recently made a fun little mod to my keyboard switches to improve the RGB lighting. I love the look of bright, vibrant backlighting, but I noticed that my switches blocked a lot of light.
