Comments on JWK Ultimate Black switches
JWICK Black Linear are serious contenders to the Gateron Oil Kings for a fraction of the price. The factory lubing job has been done incredibly well and most people will be satisfied with the stock experience. Compared to the Oil Kings the JWICKs have a sly deeper clack which makes the switch sound a little more quiet in comparison. Comes in two different weights 58.8g / 63.5g bottom out – beaverkeys.
