The silent tactile variant of the Oil King line – and a rather rare combination that pairs the feedback of a classic tactile with significantly reduced acoustics. The bump is cleanly felt and medium-weighted without ever turning aggressive, while the mute rings on the stem keep the keypress soft and dampened. Thanks to the Nylon PA66 top and signature Ink bottom, the characteristic deep Oil King sound stays intact – just considerably quieter. Ideal for anyone who wants tactile feedback that also works in the office or in shared spaces.
Good to know
- •Silent: dampers on the stem make typing much quieter.
