Loved it!

I got a base keyboard, switches, and new keys for my brother for his birthday. He really liked them, I did some research and WhatGeek made it really easy.

Great Switches but not for RGB

The factory lube on the switches isn't terrible. When I lubed a few myself to test I didn't really feel or hear a difference. They sound really really nice with the board that I put them with. This is my first custom board with linear switches (I usually use tactile but the sound profile on this was more what I was looking for) and I was not disappointed. The only thing I don't like about the switches is that they make it nearly impossible to see the RGB from the board, even with north-facing lights in the dark, even while using keycaps with translucent bottoms.

Almost perfect

The Gateron Oil Kings are good. The factory lube job can be better; the springs are not lubed at all, and the other compartments are lightly lubed. The factory lubing is good enough when you use these switches in a plastic board, but when used with a wooden or aluminum board you may want to add some lube. The quality of each piece (housing, spring, stem) is good. Overall very happy with these switches! Money well spent.
